Pete, this was a NYC 'Pacemaker,' I should have added, 'Freight' service, during the 1930's and up until WWII.

Everything I'm coming up with states Pacemaker Freight Service was instituted in 1946.

One would think that with the New York Central being such a well documented railroad, information about the existance of Pacemaker freight service prior to 1946 would have been available.
