New Haven No. 32 (Budd RDC-1); Built 1953 by the Budd Company; Philadelphia, PA.
Budd Rail Diesel Cars (RDC’s) were built from 1949 to 1962 and proved to be a success for the Budd company because of their ease of maintenance and dependability. There are two 275 horsepower 6/110 General Motors Detroit Diesel engines with hydraulic torque converters beneath the car. Unlike most railroad equipment where an engine runs a generator that supplies power to motors at the axles, RDC’s operated much like a car or truck, where the engine is mechanically connected to the wheels. These cars, nicknamed ’Budd Cars’ or ’Buddliners’ were immensely popular on short haul service as it only took a crew of two to operate a profitable train. Buddliners were all equipped with air conditioning, chemical toilets, and even a chilled water fountain. #32 has been restored to near ‘as-built’ appearance with a seating capacity of 90.
