            New Haven Railroad MU (Multiple Unit) car 4653 (Open Platform Trailer Combine, Steel Construction, SSC (Standard Steel Car Company, Built 1914), interior view of seating, ca 1951.  The location for this photo was not provided.  These cars had Spartan accommodations, but they were for commuter service and did the job well for many years, however; they did not have air conditioning, so open windows and open doors were used to help ventilate the cars during the summer.  Hanging from the overhead is an ad for Henry Fonda in "Mr. Roberts".  These cars were an advertising Mecca when it came to the number of ads being presented, just look along the sides of the ceiling..

This photo came from my New Haven Railroad photo collection, however; the photographers name was not available.  Any credit for this photo must be provided to the original photographer.
