Posted by chuchubob on Thu Aug 19 21:49:42 2010 operating as Edward Budd intendedCape May Seashore Lines operated two Budd Cars between Rio Grande and Cape May City, recreating history, as through the 1950's and 1960's six Budd Cars would depart Camden for the Shore; two would be uncoupled at Winslow Junction and go to Ocean City while the other four continued south to Wildwood Junction, where two would go to Wildwood and the other two to Cape May. GP9 PRR 7000 powered the trains on Tuesday and Wednesday until the rust was sufficiently removed from the rails; 7000 was removed for Thursday's trips and remained in Rio Grande as a protect engine, not needed on Thursday.

Funny how when I started railfanning RDC’s were fairly new and now they are museum pieces that represent a lot of somebody’s hard work to still be running. The pristine exterior restoration is beautiful.Thanks for the shots, Bill |

(a) Duty to equip and record. Except as provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section, a train operated faster than 30 miles per hour shall have an in-service event recorder, of the type described in paragraph (b) of this section, in the lead locomotive. The presence of the event recorder shall be noted on Form FRA F6180-49A (by writing the make and model of event recorder with which the locomotive is equipped) under the REMARKS section, except that an event recorder designed to allow the locomotive to assume the lead position only if the recorder is properly functioning is not required to have its presence noted on Form FRA F6180-49A. For the purpose of this section, ``train'' includes a locomotive or group of locomotives with or without cars. The duty to equip the lead locomotive may be met with an event recorder located elsewhere than the lead locomotive provided that such event recorder monitors and records the required data as though it were located in the lead locomotive. The event recorder shall record the most recent 48 hours of operation of the electrical system of the locomotive on which it is installed. (b) Equipment requirements. Event recorders shall monitor and record data elements required by this paragraph with at least the accuracy required of the indicators displaying any of the required elements to the engineer. (1) A lead locomotive originally ordered before October 1, 2006, and placed in service before October 1, 2009, including a controlling remote distributed power locomotive, a lead manned helper locomotive, a DMU locomotive, and an MU locomotive, except as provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section, shall have an in-service event recorder that records the following data elements: (i) Train speed; (ii) Selected direction of motion; (iii) Time; (iv) Distance; (v) Throttle position; (vi) Applications and operations of the train automatic air brake; (vii) Applications and operations of the independent brake; |

Thanks for sharing!I hope to make it out there with a friend to ride these. It would be another "dream come true" to ride an RDC in service by itself. Are they fast? Are they fumy? Can't wait to find out! Wish they still made railcars like this. |

They can not stretch their legs, with a MAS of 30 mph dictated by the railroad.There was no hint of diesel exhaust inside M-410. The sound inside is outstanding (for a Budd Car fan). The crew is very pleasant. The overall experience is |
