A Metro North Commuter RDC (aka Rail Diesel Car) is Laid Up in Port Jervis Yard awaiting it's scheduled departure. This is a self propelled Passenger Car with a Diesel Engine manufactured by the Budd Company.

 

According to "R36 Coach" the RDC's ran between Port Jervis and Suffern, New York.

 

This "West of Hudson Line" operates under the Authority of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (aka: MTA) and service is provided by with MTA Owned Equipment and New Jersey Transit Equipment (under subcontract by the MTA).

 

This Yard is located not far from the Former Erie Railroad Port Jervis Station, however this commuter train uses it's own Metro North/New Jersey Transit Station nearby. The Former Erie Railroad Station is no longer used for Commuter Trains, but serves as a Commercial Center in Downtown Port Jervis.
