Invitation to the inaugural run of the New England Metroliner (Boston-New York) on October 28, 1982; includes two sided paper card and envelope.

Unlike its counterpart on the southern leg of the Northeast Corridor, the New England Metroliner was not electrified, but it did make limited stops, covering the distance between New York and Boston in 3 hours, 55 minutes.
