This was the Budd RDC. Several hundred of them were built in the late 40s and early 50s. They kept branch line and commuter service going a lot longer than they otherwise would have. Unfortunately, with the total collapse of rail passenger service in the 50s and 60s, new orders dropped to zero and the Budd company went out of the RDC and passenger car business.
