The metroliner were EMUds (electric multiple units) build by the budd company (the same company who build the R32 subway car) which built in the late 60s, it was designed for first-class, high-speed service between New York City and Washington, D.C., on the Northeast Corridor. They were designed to go to speeds around 150 MPH, making them America’s first high speed train. They were owned by the Pennsylvania railroad (PRR) in 1967 then by Penn central and then by Amtrak in 1971. Due to their poor reliability they are converted to NPCU cab cars, (you can find them on the Keystone Service, Valley Flyer and Hartford Lines where they look like ordinary amfleet coaches but with the front of the cab car painted in yellow and black stripes). And thanks to the metroliners, this is where the airplane styled amfleet coaches were based on.
