PC 98 |
| Description: |
Train of Budd RDCs provides commuter service from Harmon (end of the electrified zone) to Poughkeepsie, NY on the Hudson River line. Under my 15X loupe, the number of the lead Budd RDC appears to be #98, which would make it ex-NYC M-497, the RDC used as a jet-powered test bed in 1966. |

| Title: |
RDC Commuter Train. |
| Description: |
Two Budd Cars make an "f" stop at Crugers, NY. Note that the lead RDC is an RDC 3. It is an ex NYC unit. I like this picture because first, it looks like it could be 1965 or 1955 and second because of the unusualness of seeing an RDC-3 at this time on a commuter run and third this photo clearly shows the train crew communicating with hand signals. Train is a mid-day local out of Harmon for Poughkeepsie. I do not remember the train number. Date is an approximation. I do know that this photo was taken late in the Penn Central era. |
