Bill: The RDC's gave good service but the railroad ran them into the ground. If they had been given a mid life rebuild they might have lasted longer. The SPV's were another story. MN purchased ten of these for us on various shuttle services. After a time they were mostly found on the Croton-Poughkeepsie shuttles. This was done so that they would be near the repair shop. I rode the cars when they were in service for a year. The interiors were black. Apparently no one though to vent the exhaust to the outside. In is interesting to note that although the RDC's were a quarter century older they were withdrawn from service only shortly before the SPV. The last run of the SPV's as near as I can find out was September 23, 1993. |
