"BUDD ordered these, assured they would be good like the RDC's components, but it turns out the companies gave them BS components."Even if true, the responsibility still remained Budd's as the prime contractor. Pullman always had a well-deserved reputation for outstanding and luxurious passenger car equipment. When the R-46's were delivered with advanced light-weight Rockwell trucks, they suffered cracking in service. It was Rockwell's fault, but Pullman's responsibility. Other than that the cars were quite well designed and have, historically, seen good service. Today the R46 still performs very well. |
