Thee were a few around until the M1-s came into service. They never saw service as Metro-North. The last series I believe was numbered in the 4400's. I am NOT talking about the 4500's. Just like there are tons of DL&W old electric MU's around, thought perhaps someone knew if any of these old relics survived.
As in my first response to your question, the answer is still NO.
The old DLW MU's still survive in great numbers because they have great value as coaches for tourist operations. They are simple cars and have windows that can open. They were also retired in 1984 and were available cheap and could move on their own wheels to final destination. The NYC heavyweight coaches and MUs were mostly off the roster and scrapped between 1967-1970 as the first M-1s were delivered... The ACMUs were retired in the 2000s but hold little resale value as they have sealed windows, making them unsuitable for tourist train service. The older St. Louis Car Co order were all retired by 1980, except for one car 1077 kept for trash service.
