Re: (erielack) odd, but Special Request.

As far as I know, both of them. They came over from the LIRR in 1979 when
that road discontinued its steam heated parlor car trains.

Metro North #1 was LIRR's Aquebogue, originally DLW 789. MN #2 was LIRR
Asharoken, originally DLW 790.

Both cars were acquired by the LIRR in July 1970. Photos can be seen at:

They're at the bottom of the page, scroll down and click on the car names.
There are also photos of ex EL coaches that the LIRR picked up as well.
These are in a different page of the same site:

Click on the appropriate link. Happy hunting!!
