Patch Unit At Sunrise. Connecticut DOT/MTA Metro-North Railroad 230 (P32AC-DM, New Haven Tribute) led Train 805 from Grand Central Terminal in New York, New York to Poughkeepsie, New York on Wednesday, February 8, 2023. The train is seen coming around the curve in Marble Hill, which is very much part of New York County is spite of the relocated waterway. On February 1, 1968, the Penn Central Transportation Company was created and on December 31, 1968 the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad ceased to exist as an independent entity in the rail business when it was merged into the corporation. When NYNH&H joined PC, its assets were mixed and matched with the rest of the railroad, and most notable its FL-9s made their way on to the formerly New York Central Hudson and Harlem Lines to eliminate the need for an engine changes from diesel to electric to continue to New York City. While some units received a full repaint, others only had the new "mating worms" logo added to the existing scheme like this unit. In 1976, Penn Central's failure led to the State Of New York and Conrail assuming responsibility for the commuter passenger operations on the Hudson Line, later ceding control to the Metro-North Railroad in 1983.
