The FL 9s that ran in Grand Central commuter service wore a variety of colors during their tenure as operations first were run by Conrail under contract, then by Metro North directly. Here we see 5019 in PC paint-mostly-at GCT |

Picking up for Grand Central |
| Description: |
MN 5044 leads a Grand Central bound train on the Harlem Division at the Hawthorne station. The silver with blue stripe was MN's first scheme on these units, and looked attractive. Coaches were typically former NYC long haul cars, as we see here. |
