Without a time frame to work with your question is pretty hard to answer.  You might think through the "when" and ask the good folks at the New York Central Technical & Historical Society.  In general diesel era terms, local passenger equipment varied north and south of Croton-Harmon, NY.  South into NYC was pretty much all electric m.u. equipment.  North to Poughkeepsie & beyond could be a GP7 or two and some coaches or one or two RDC's, depending on the year in question.

NYC Hudson Division local passenger
Posted by Duo on Wednesday, June 27, 2007 11:20 AM

Hello there,

I was wondering what was the normal passenger consist for the local that NYC used on the Hudson Line in the late 1940's and early 50's?

I was told most likely an RPO, Baggage, and then some coaches. But I'm not positive so I was wondering if anyone else knew.

Many Thanks!
