Sometime in the late 1960s-early 1970s, and as of a result of the Penn Central Merger (1968) NYC RDC3 Number M497 was renumbered No. 97. <br />It was maintained in Croton Harmon N.Y. and usually used on upper Harlem and Poughkeepsie runs. It was sold to Conrail in May 1976. <br />Ex-No. 97 was signed over to MTA as No. 98 but never ran for MTA. <br />I recently learned that the 98 was purchased by the CNW for use as a track inspection car, but that the deal fell through for some reason. The RDC3 was finally scrapped by CNW. <br />Does anyone have more data about this? <br />Hank Morris
