This car is Delaware Lackawanna & Western electric MU motor car #2628, built by Pullman in 1930.  Cars like this were nicknamed "Edison cars" because Thomas Edison himself ran the first car for the inauguration of electric service in 1930.  Car #2628 later passed through the hands of Erie-Lackawanna and New Jersey Transit before being retired in the early 1980's.  It is now owned by the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum, which tows it with a diesel but has kept all of the car's electric equipment intact.
