The M-2 Cosmopolitans have been with us for 40 years now, since April 1973. The first cars were accepted for service on April 5 (40 years ago today) and Monday, April 16 was the first official run, followed by regular service on the Stamford Locals. By April 19, the first 16 cars were all accepted for passenger service, with regular deliveries continuing from that point on. The 144 cars of the base order were in service by mid 1974.
