The Budd Rail Diesel Car (RDC), also known as the Buddliner, is a self-propelled Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) Railcar. Between 1949 and 1962, 398 RDCs were built by the Budd Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These cars were primarily used for passenger service in rural areas with low traffic density or in short-haul commuter service. They were less expensive to operate than a traditional Diesel powered locomotive pulling passenger coaches. They could be used singly or coupled together in train sets and controlled from the cab of the head unit. Budd RDCs were sold to operators in North America, South America, Asia, and Australia. They saw extensive use in the Northeast USA both on branch lines and in commuter service. The Boston & Maine purchased 7 RDC-3 units. Road numbers were 6300 to 6306. The RDC-3: an 85 ft (25.91 m) variant with a railway post office, a baggage compartment and 48 passenger seats. It weighed 117,900 pounds (53.5 t) empty.
