via 15 6400 gloucester junction + RDC Budd cars

[EvaristeWK]

I didn't know VIA also has a cab car like GO Transit.

@EvaristeWK It is not a Cab Car, it is 2 Budd RDC self propelled cars in tow to another destination.

That was a nice looking consist. Neat seeing the classic Budd RDCs.

These Buds were used on a failed test run in Ottawa looking at the possibility of using our buds in the corridor.

The first Budd would likey be 6148. Sent to IRSI in Moncton from Vancouver island for repairs. Would have been brought by CN to Halifax, attached to the back of 14 for the trip west. The second one is an IRSI demo unit, wearing VIA Rail markings. I can't remember what it actually completely is, but I know it's been entirely refurbished.

Can I ask, what type of carriages (despite the budds) were they?

Nice Video :-)

[drc35ca]

The Green Coaches were complete refubished, were brought from England and were supposedly left overs from the Night Star? Mark IV coach?

The Budds had 4 variants ! I think one is a standard coach and the other is a RDC-2 baggage coach combination?

[TheSubatomicCheese]

One is an RDC1, the other an RDC2 (with baggage door).

[FJSawyer]

Ahh, right. I thought they looked a bit pommy. They look very similar to Coaches on a HST.

Cheers anyway :-)

[fergusontea]

Cool!

[TrainGeek]

Good catch with the RDCs!!

[drc35ca]

I caught them going and you caught them returning! Probably went for a repair? It almost looks like the seats have been removed in some of the pictures?

[TrainGeek]

Not sure! I think they were going for some kind of demo near Ottawa.

6202 and 6130 were up in ottawa may 24/26 doing some sort of tests looks like you caught them inroute from the eastcoast
