Reply to "Let’s see your Budd cars!"

Here's another.

Budd built two of these baggage/coach/dinettes for the B&O in 1956.  Named "Speed Liners"  they were used in DC - Pittsburgh service.  For a while, RDC number 1961 held down a weekend run from B&O's junction with the NY Central into Detroit on weekends, to preserve B&O's  rights over the NYC line until it ended Detroit service in the late 1960's. Other than a few rail fans who knew about that run, there were hardly any passengers.
