Interesting to see the kind of capex the PRR and NYC were putting into new equipment in the late '40's / early '50's.  The one ad notes NYC spent $96,000,000 on new passenger equipment and engines to pull them.  PRR notes in an ad they have spent $212,000,000 on new diesel engines.  Both figures were a heck of a lot of money back then!  The PRR expenditure alone would amount to close to $1.8 billion in 2014 dollars.
