There
is a story about car 2960 that was running about
70 mph on the way to Montreal when it slammed into
a 6 feet high by 40 feet long snow bank. There was
an awful thud, but it rolled out the other end
without losing so much as a windshield wiper.

Model: BUDD
RDC-1 & RDC-2
Number:
6205
Horsepower: 2 x 275
Engines: Two GM Type 6-110 (6 cylinders)
Max.Speed: 85 MPH (136.85 Km/hour)
Width: 10ft 6in (3.2m)
Max Height: 14ft 7in (4.48m)
Body Length: 85ft (25.925m)
Loaded Weight: 70.548 US (short tons)
Built: 1949 - 1956
During
the summer of 1948, the Budd Company decided to
produce light weight self-propelled passenger cars by
combining their stainless steel fabrication processes
with advanced truck design and a new slant-6 engine
developed by GM.
By
1949 a demonstrator vehicle S/N 2960 was introduced
that when fully loaded, weighed about the same as a
light-weight passenger car of the day. The car
performed with exceptional reliability.
It has
a high power to weight ratio of 8.68 horsepower per
ton allowing the Budd Rail Diesel Car rapid
acceleration from stops, and performs well on steep
grades. The self propelled passenger proved to be
vastly more economical to operate than a conventional
train of only 2 or 3 cars.
Because
it has driver's controls at each end, it has the
ability to make a return trip without wyeing or
spinning.
The
Budd Co. built over 400 RDC units and by 1957, most
were operating across North America.

North
Eastern Railroad needed a inexpensive people
mover. It purchased several KIHA 31s and converted
them to the CMT (Commuter) trains of today. They
were modified with American couplers and it can be
coupled to standard freight in an emergency. They
have been dispersed throughout the route servicing
groups of 5-7 stations with quick runs back and
forth.
