Welcome! This is an unofficial website providing information on the
Budd RDC, the classic North American streamlined self-propelled passenger
rail car (aka Diesel Multiple Unit/DMU) built by the Budd company of
Philadelphia between 1949 and 1962. A number of these magnificent first
generation DMUs are still in service today across North America, while
others are used on tourist lines or displayed in museums.
Read on for more information on these rugged and resiliant machines that
sought to slow the decline of local passenger rail services in North America.
