Besides RDCs, what rolling stock did NYC use on the Upper Harlem line from North White Plains to Chatham during the 1950s and 1960s?

Many --- most, by the 60's --- had been rebuilt with sealed windows and new seat covers but were still ungodly uncomfortable and rough-riding.Tom do ANY of those ex-NYC heaveyweight coaches survive today? Do you have any photos of what the interiors of these coaches looked like?
