I have only conjecture. This is probably a posed shot, and as near as I can tell the MP cars are all heavyweights.

There is a Centipede roster, which says the first N de M unit was delivered 4/47, then the balance of the 14 units were delivered 1-7/48, the last ones built (yet the Baldwin builders numbers are lower than the PRR and Seaboard units). This train is presumably the Aztec Eagle southbound, N de M train 2. Northbound was train 1. Further information here:
