BUDD RDC CUTS A GORDIAN KNOT
New England's Boston and Maine Railroad had a
more-than-usually difficult commuter problem.
Morning trains funneled into North Station,
Boston, from Fitchburg, from Lowell, from
Haverhill and Portsmouth and Gloucester. And
then following trains bottled them in.
Everything would finally get turned around in
time for the evening's outbound stampede. But
meantime the railroad was glutted with idle
equipment.
Budd’s rail diesel car-RDC-has made it possible
to change all that. This air-conditioned,
stainless steel car propels itself in either direction,
merely by having the engineman take his control
handles from one end of the car to the other. It
can, and does, go into North Station and out
again in five minutes.
During periods of light traffic RDCs operate
individually. As traffic builds up, trains of RDCs
can be assembled. Any number. All controlled
by one man.
The Boston and Maine now operates the world's
largest fleet of RDCs-64 in all. And it keeps them
busy. The cars average eleven runs a day. They
have replaced 67 locomotives and 245 coaches,
to give New England rail service such as it never
enjoyed before. Yes-the word is enjoyed.

A great Vintage Ad!
You pick your frame color, and you pick your mat color. We will mat and frame your Vintage Ad per your request and send it to you promptly. All you have to do is remove it from the box and hang it on the wall in your home, office, garage, man cave, or showroom!
We mat and frame original, vintage magazine ads...they are in good condition, but may not be perfect as they are many decades old. Frame outside dimensions are 15" x 12", and matted ad is approximately 9-5/8" x 6-5/8" (could be slightly different, depending on ad).
Frames and vintage ads are actual as shown, and mat is computer generated for online viewing. Actual mat is custom cut for each individual ad and mat color will be similar to the colors shown on the website. “Travel Route 3 Scan” watermark is placed on the ad for online viewing only, and is not part of the final product. Back side of Vintage Ad is glued to backing paper so that it continues to display flat over time. Here is what you will receive:
- New frame
- New mat
- New glass
- Vintage Ad
