They were initially branded as Cosmopolitans both the model and brand name followed the pattern set up by the M1/M1A series (the Metropolitans) in use on the Long Island Rail Road (M1) and on Metro-North's Hudson and Harlem lines (M1A). The M2 cars were built primarily by General Electric in a consortium with the Budd Company, Canadian Vickers and Avco between 19. One pair of M2s has been preserved at the Danbury Railway Museum in Connecticut. They have been largely replaced by new M8 railcars. The M4s and M6s were retired by Metro-North in 2015, followed by the last M2s in 2018. They ran on the New Haven Line (then part of Penn Central, now a part of Metro-North) for most of their service life. Initially branded as the Cosmopolitans, the cars were later more popularly known under their model names, M2 (1970s cars), M4 (1980s cars), M6 (1990s cars). The M2, M4 and M6 were three similar series of electric multiple unit rail cars produced by the Budd Company (M2), Tokyu Car Corporation (M4), and Morrison-Knudsen (M6) for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT).
