Penn Central business car # 3 brings up the rear of an eastbound passenger train as it passes by tower SS38 in light snow at Stamford, Connecticut, early 1970's, Bob Hughes Photo. Business car # 3 was delivered by Pullman to the New York Central Railroad during 5-1928, and its original weight was 195,200 lbs, but in this scene after modernization with the installation of electro-mechanical air conditioning equipment, plus additional other items, the car weighs closer to 100 tons. You can really see the escaping water vapor coming from the steam train line connector located below the rear platform of the business car. The car coupled ahead of the business car appears to be a combine lounge, with 1-day drawing room, 2-roomettes, and a 19 foot baggage compartment. The traffic that is seen on I-95 in the background is rather light.
