TRACTION AROUND NORTH AMERICA
This commuter car is Long Island Railroad #4153, an MP-54A1 type electric MU car built by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1930.  Hundreds of cars of this type were once operated by the PRR and LIRR.  This particular example was acquired by the Connecticut Trolley Museum of East Windsor, CT in 1972 and for a time actually operated at CTM (note the car's trolley poles).
