New Haven, CT, July, 2015 -
It appears the last of the M-2 cars
on the property have completed their service on Metro-North. Some have gone so
far as to say the 'Cosmo' cars just might’ve been the best commuter car ever
built in this country.
In what could be described as a last goodbye to the region they served so well for almost 40 years, the last eight M-2 cars departed Cedar Hill Yard recently as a CSX diesel loco towed them to their final resting place. The car numbers were obliterated and replaced with FICX reporting marks, a symbol of the new owner Frontier Industrial Recycling.

The final destination is a scrap
yard in the famous railroad town of Ashtabula, Ohio.
Adieu to the M-2, you served us
well.
