To help boost your train knowledge, VIA Rail has created a new section on viarail.ca featuring our train equipment.

Each locomotive and train car in our fleet is profiled, with detailed descriptions including:

- main characteristics

Check out the new Train Equipment section and tell your fellow rail fans about it:

They have limited accuracy skills. (Also, I wish they told me which Amtrak cars were converted from Heritage cars!)

Only RDCs still in regular service in the world, eh? Yeah, right.

There are Budd RDCs in service on the Hurricane Turn Train operated seasonally by the Alaska Railroad, and by a dinner train on Aquidneck Island, I believe. And probably others that I'm not thinking of offhand.

Somebody better tell them about the TRE operation between Dallas and Ft. Worth. They run some Budd RDC's

And if you are talking RDC's genericly instead of the Budd RDC's, you can find them in many places throughout the world. It might be a shorter list to list the railroad systems that don't run diesel cars.
