An interesting scene for 2023, a Budd RDC sitting on a turntable in front of the 3 stall roundhouse in Rockland, Maine. There have been interesting things parked there before, and this is the unit the company will use for their Coastliner excursions.
I pledge to work "the most _____ _____ __________ since the invention of the air brake" into some important thing I will say, once I think of the rest of the important thing.

ReplyDeleteI used to ride one getting to Toronto for 9am. The bus engine was coupled to a two speed transmission. It groaned into motion.... accelerated (sort of..). then: pause, BANG CLUNK and the motor started over groaning as it dragged the whole thing up to what seemed to be a reasonable speed..
