For its regular transcon service with the CZ, New York Central leased one of
the D&RGW CZ cars, unlike the Pennsylvania, which owned its own. This,
according to Karl Zimmerman.

The light gray/dark gray NYC sleepers certainly appeared on the CZ,

early as 1950. See the cover of Jeff Wilson's "Burlington in the Heartland"
and you can see what Bob Milner confirms was an NYC car in the 11th slot. I
bought one of the Railway Classics "River" sleepers just for this possibility.
You can also see ACL fluted sleepers in 1951 as well in "Portrait of a Silver
Lady" Many foreign road cars were used, even before the 1952 extra cars, to
augment the consist.
