Budd Rail Diesel Car ( RDC ), также известный как Budd Car или Buddliner , представляет собой самоходной дизельный многократный (DMU) вагол . В период с 1949 по 1962 год 398 RDC были построены Budd Company в Филадельфии, штат Пенсильвания , США. Автомобили были в основном приняты для пассажирских услуг в сельских районах с низкой плотностью движения или в пригородной службе с коротким путем, и в этом контексте были дешевле, чем традиционный дизельный локомотив -поезд с тренерами. Автомобили могут использоваться по отдельности или соединяться вместе в наборах поездов и управлять с кабины переднего блока. RDC был одним из немногих поездов DMU для достижения коммерческого успеха в Северной Америке. Поезда RDC были ранним примером автономных дизельных поездов с несколькими единичными поездами, а также общее использование железных дорог по всему миру.
Budd RDC были проданы операторам в Северной Америке, Южной Америке, Азии и Австралии. Они видели широкое использование в северо -востоке Соединенных Штатов , как на филиалах, так и на пригородной службе. По мере того, как пассажирская служба снизилась в Соединенных Штатах, RDC часто был последним выжившим конвейером пассажиров по конкретному маршруту. Большинство RDC были на пенсии к 1980 -м годам. В Канаде RDCS оставались в постоянном использовании с момента их введения в 1950 -х годах. RDC вдохновил несколько производных, в том числе неудачный приятель SPV-2000 . Железная дорога Нью -Йорка Центральной железной дороги установила два реактивных двигателя на RDC в 1966 году и установила скорость скорости в Соединенных Штатах 184 мили в час (296 км/ч), хотя эта экспериментальная конфигурация никогда не использовалась в регулярном обслуживании.
Фон
[ редактировать ]Самоходной железнодорожный вагон не был новой концепцией в североамериканских железных дорогах. Начиная с железных дорог 1880 -х годов, экспериментированных с паровыми железными вагонами на линии филиалов, где стоимость эксплуатации обычного парового локомотива набор автомобилей была непомерно высокой. [ 2 ] Эти автомобили потерпели неудачу по нескольким причинам: котел и двигатель были слишком тяжелыми, вода и топливо занимали слишком много места, а высокие затраты на техническое обслуживание ликвидировали любое преимущество, что было получено из -за снижения затрат на рабочую силу. [ 3 ] В 1900 -х годах паровые вагоны сменились бензином во главе с McKeen Motor Car Company , которая производила 152 в период с 1905 по 1917 год. [ 4 ] Компания JG Brill продала более 300 железнодорожных путей в 1920 -х годах. Новичок Electro-Motive Corporation , работая с компанией Winton Motor Carriage , доминировала на рынке в конце 1920-х годов, но оставил ее полностью к 1932 году, поскольку Великая депрессия потрошало железнодорожное движение. [ 5 ]
Budd Company вышла на рынок в 1932 году, как и EMC. До тех пор Бадд был в основном субподрядчиком автомобильных деталей, но имел первые методы для работы с нержавеющей стали , включая технику сварки выстрела , чтобы соединить компоненты из нержавеющей стали. Это разрешило строительство автомобилей, которые были легкими и сильными. [ 6 ] Budd в партнерстве с Michelin для построения нескольких резиновых автомобилей из нержавеющей стали, работающих на бензине и дизельных двигателях . [ 7 ] Они видели услуги с помощью компании по чтению , железной дороги Пенсильвании , а также в Техасе и Тихоокеанской железной дороге . Автомобили были недооценены, шины оказались склонными к выбросам и срезаниям, а автомобили были безуспешными. [ 8 ]
Budd возродил свою концепцию железнодорожного вагона после того, как в 1938 году стало доступно дизельные двигатели с подходящей комбинацией мощности и веса , хотя с более обычными стальными колесами. В 1941 году Бадд построил разведчика на Западной железной дороге Денвер и Рио -Гранде . на две машины Это был дизель . [ 9 ] У каждого автомобиля была пара дизельных двигателей мощности 192 лошадиных сил (143 кВт) и была способна к самостоятельной работе. Автомобили были построены из нержавеющей стали и включали в себя смесь тренера и спальных помещений. Дизайн был популярен среди общественности, но отменен сложными условиями работы на D & RGW. Он был отозван в июле 1942 года, по -видимому, еще одна неудача. [ 10 ] Тем не менее, несколько технических достижений во время Второй мировой войны побудили Бадда попробовать еще раз.
Дизайн
[ редактировать ]В годы Второй мировой войны произошли улучшения в легких дизельных двигателях Детройта и, что не менее важно, гидравлический конвертер крутящего момента . [ Примечание 1 ] Budd, который к тому времени произвел более 2500 оптимизированных автомобилей для различных железных дорог, взял стандартный 85-футовый (26 м) дизайн тренера и добавил пару 275 л.с. (205 кВт) 6-цилиндровые Detroit Diesel Series 110 . двигатели [ 12 ] Каждый из них проезжал через гидравлический конвертер крутящего момента, полученный из танка M46 Patton , для расположения колеса 1A-A1 . [ 13 ] Максимальная скорость для дизайна составляла 85 миль в час (137 км/ч). [ 14 ] Системы управления позволили автомобилям работать по отдельности или во многих. [ 15 ] Результатом стал RDC-1, который дебютировал на Чикаго в станции Union 19 сентября 1949 года. [ 12 ]
Variants
[ редактировать ]
Budd manufactured five basic variants of the RDC:[16]
- The RDC-1: an 85 ft (25.91 m) all-passenger coach seating 90 passengers. It weighed 118,300 pounds (53.7 t) empty.
- The RDC-2: an 85 ft (25.91 m) baggage and passenger coach configuration (combine) seating 70 passengers. The baggage area was 17 ft (5.18 m) long. It weighed 114,200 pounds (51.8 t) empty.
- The RDC-3: an 85 ft (25.91 m) variant with a railway post office, a baggage compartment and 48 passenger seats. It weighed 117,900 pounds (53.5 t) empty.
- The RDC-4: a 73 ft 10 in (22.50 m) variant with only the railway post office and baggage area. It weighed 109,200 pounds (49.5 t) empty.
- The RDC-9: an 85 ft (25.91 m) passenger trailer seating 94, a single 300-horsepower (220 kW) engine and no control cab.
Several railroads used the designation "RDC-5": the Canadian Pacific Railway for RDC-2s converted to full-coach configuration and the Canadian National Railway for RDC-9s it purchased from the Boston and Maine Railroad.[17]
In 1956, Budd introduced a new version of the RDC, with several improvements. The new cars had more powerful versions of the Detroit Diesel 6-110 engines, each of which produced 300 horsepower (220 kW) instead of 275 horsepower (205 kW). They also featured higher-capacity air conditioning and more comfortable seating. The appearance changed slightly as well: the side fluting continued around to the front of the car and the front-facing windows were smaller.[18]
Jet propulsion
[edit]In an experiment toward high-speed rail, the New York Central Railroad fitted a pair of General Electric J47 jet engines from a Convair B-36, complete in their twinned nacelle from the bomber's engine installation, atop one of their RDCs and added a shovel nose front (much like a later automotive air dam) to its cab, but extended upwards, covering the entire front end. This RDC, which NYC had numbered M497, set the United States speed record in 1966 when it traveled at just short of 184 mph (296 km/h) between Butler, Indiana, and Stryker, Ohio. It was never intended that jet engines propel regular trains. With high-speed trains advancing overseas, particularly the Japanese Shinkansen bullet trains, American railroads were under pressure from the federal government to catch up.[19][20] The test runs and subsequent American rail speed record set on July 23, 1966, provided valuable data on the interaction between flanged wheels and rail at high speeds, as well as stress on wheel bearings and track infrastructure.[21]
At the same time the test took place, the Central announced plans to discontinue most of its long-distance trains, including the renowned 20th Century Limited. Trains editor David P. Morgan observed that "...[the New York] Central will never quite convince anyone that the RDC's jet exploit was more a scientific feat than a calculated circus to take the curse off the Century's funeral notice."[22] Historian Chuck Crouse expressed skepticism in 1990 about the test's usefulness: "What, if anything, did the tests prove is anyone's guess."[23]
Derivatives
[edit]
In 1956, the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad ordered a custom-built, six-car train set they named the Roger Williams, based on the RDC design. It consisted of two single-ended cab units and four intermediate cars to make a complete train. The units were fitted with third-rail shoes, electric traction motors, and associated gear for operation into Grand Central Terminal, though this was short-lived. In the New Haven's later years, the set was broken up, and used with regular New Haven RDCs, and by Amtrak into the 1980s.[24]
In 1961, five cars were built under license in Australia for the Department of Railways New South Wales. They were shorter and narrower than the North American models.
In the late 1970s Budd sought to replace the aging RDCs with a new design, the SPV-2000. The body shell was based on an Amfleet coach, not the RDC. Like the RDC it was 85 feet (26 m) long, stainless steel, and powered by twin diesel engines. The design was beset with mechanical problems, and Budd sold only 30 cars.[25]
In 1966, Tokyu Car built 31 DR2700 series cars for the Taiwan Railway Administration. Tokyu got a licence from the Budd Company and the bodywork of the DR2700 series was based on the RDC. There were 25 powered driving cars (each with a Cummins diesel engine producing 335 horsepower (250 kW)) and 6 trailers. The DR2700 series was the fastest train in the following decade with a top speed of 110 kilometres per hour (68 mph). They were withdrawn from regular service in 2014 while several powered driving cars were still active for special trains.
From 1982 to 1984 Tokyu Car built 45 of a heavily specialized, meter-gauge RDC design for the Taiwan Railway Administration under license from Budd. Designated the DR2800 series, the units are organized into 15 permanently-coupled three-car sets (30 powered driving cars and 15 trailers). Like other RDC trainsets before them, each cab unit only has a cab at one end and two cab units bracket a trailer in a standard set. Unlike other RDC sets, however, the trailer's diesel engine is used exclusively to provide head-end power for the entire three-car set, while the engines in the driver cars are used for propulsion. To prevent dependency on the trailer's engine for cooling, the cooling fans of the driver cars are driven hydraulically instead of electrically. This configuration results in each set producing 700 horsepower (520 kW) for a top speed of 110 kilometres per hour (68 mph). All 15 sets are still in service as of 2022.[26][27] All DR2800 series were withdrawn from service on April 26, 2023.[28]
History
[edit]United States
[edit]


The vast majority of RDCs were owned and operated by railroads in the United States. They could be found on branch lines, short-haul intercity routes, commuter routes, and even long-distance trains. The Western Pacific Railroad used a pair of RDC-2s to operate the Zephyrette, a supplement to the California Zephyr. The two cars ran between Oakland, California and Salt Lake City, Utah, 924 miles (1,487 km), three days a week.[29] Examples of shorter intercity services were the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad's Memphis, Tennessee–Amarillo, Texas Choctaw Rocket and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's Daylight Speedliner. The latter ran between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and included full dining service.[30] A notable example of the RDC's flexibility occurred on the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines, where a single train would depart Camden, New Jersey and split into multiple trains to serve different destinations on the Atlantic coast.[31]
The largest RDC fleets were in the Northeast United States. The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (New Haven) acquired 40 RDCs, which it called "Shoreliners", in 1952–53. By 1955 these accounted for 65% of the New Haven's passenger routes.[32] This achievement was eclipsed by the Boston and Maine Railroad, whose fleet grew to 108 by 1958. The B&M's RDCs operated 90% of the company's passenger routes, including its extensive commuter operations around Boston, Massachusetts.[33]
The results in commuter service outside the B&M were mixed. Budd had not designed the RDC for commuter service and discouraged operators from using it to haul coaches. The Long Island Rail Road and Chicago and North Western Railway, which had extensive networks in Long Island and Chicago, respectively, evaluated the RDC but made few orders.[34][35] Conversely, the Reading Company's 12 RDC-1s lasted on the Philadelphia–Reading and Philadelphia–Bethlehem routes well into the SEPTA era.[36]
For several railroads the RDCs, because of their low overall cost and operational flexibility, were the last passenger trains in operation. Examples include the Duluth, Missabe, and Iron Range Railway,[37] the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway,[38] the Lehigh Valley Railroad,[39] and the Northwestern Pacific Railroad, where RDC service survived until the formation of Amtrak in 1971.[40]
Many RDCs remained in service throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Amtrak acquired 24 (including three from the Roger Williams), mostly for use in Connecticut.[41] The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) acquired the B&M's fleet and continued operating them until 1985.[42] The Alaska Railroad acquired five RDCs, three from SEPTA and two from Amtrak between 1984 and 1986.[43] These were all sold or out of service by 2009.[44] Trinity Railway Express acquired thirteen RDCs from Via Rail in 1993 for use on commuter service between Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas.[45] The Denton County Transportation Authority leased several for A-train service pending the arrival of new Stadler GTW 2/6s diesel multiple units.[46]
Despite their advanced age, a market for Budd RDCs has continued. Oregonian transit authority TriMet purchased and refurbished two RDCs in 2009 to provide backup for its commuter rail service, WES, following reliability issues with the primary DMUs for that service, which had been purpose-built by Colorado Railcar.[47] In 2017, a Vermont company, AllEarth Rail, bought twelve 1959 Budd cars from Dallas Area Rapid Transit for $5 million. The cars had previously been owned by Via Rail Canada, which also bid on the lot. AllEarth said it planned to use the cars for commuter rail service in Vermont, possibly starting with a Burlington-to-Montpelier route.[48] TriMet subsequently purchased two of these cars from AllEarth later the same year, in addition to its existing two, and stated they would enter WES service in 2021;[49] however, those plans were postponed indefinitely in view of a COVID-19 pandemic-related ridership decline.
Canada
[edit]
Both the Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) purchased RDCs. The Canadian National purchased 25 cars outright, and acquired many more second-hand from the Boston and Maine Railroad. These cars, which CN called Railiners, were used primarily on secondary passenger routes. CP purchased 53 cars. The first one ran on November 9, 1954, between Detroit and Toronto. It was the first stainless-steel passenger train to operate in Canada. CP used the RDCs, which it called Dayliners, throughout its system. CP also made extensive use of them on commuter trains around Montreal and Toronto. The Dominion Atlantic Railway (CP's subsidiary in Nova Scotia) also operated two RDCs lettered for its line.[50]
Via Rail inherited many of these cars when it took over CN and CP passenger services in 1978.[51] Via continues to use RDCs on the Sudbury–White River train in Ontario.[52][53]
Another Canadian purchaser of RDCs was the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, which operated passenger service between North Vancouver and Prince George.[54] RDCs continued to operate on this route until all passenger service ended under BC Rail, PGE's successor, in 2002.[55]
Refurbished RDCs were considered for Blue22, a rail service between Toronto Union Station and Pearson Airport, by 2010. The service, which was transferred to Metrolinx ownership and opened in 2015 as the Union Pearson Express, ultimately used new Nippon Sharyo DMU trains instead.[56]
Australia
[edit]
In 1951, the Budd Company exported three standard RDC-1 railcars to Australia, which Budd engineer Joseph F. Grosser accompanied. Designated the CB class, they ran on the 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1435 mm) standard-gauge Commonwealth Railways lines in the sparsely populated north of South Australia not served by the South Australian Railways. Invariably referred to as "Budd cars", they operated between Port Pirie, Woomera, Tarcoola, Marree and Whyalla.[57][58]
In July 1975, when the Commonwealth Railways were succeeded by the Australian National Railways Commission (successively branded as ANR, Australian National and AN), they were withdrawn from service and stored. In 1986, however, they were reinstated on the Iron Triangle Limited service from Adelaide to Whyalla and the Silver City Limited service from Broken Hill.[59][58][60] The cars were withdrawn from service in 1990. As of 2024[update], CB1 was preserved at the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide; CB2 and CB3 were privately owned.[58]
In 1961, Commonwealth Engineering built five RDC-1 derivative cars[58] in Australia under licence for the New South Wales railways department. Four were self-propelled and one was a trailer car.[61] Allocated as the 1100 class, they followed Budd car layouts but were smaller than standard RDC-1 models, being 8.0 feet (2.4 metres) shorter at 77.0 feet (23.5 metres) and built to a New South Wales Railways loading gauge smaller than that of North American railroads (and Commonwealth Railways).[62] The trailer car was built with a buffet/snack bar in one end.[62] The cars worked the South Coast Daylight Express between Sydney and Bomaderry.[63] Age and mechanical problems led to the cars' conversion to locomotive-hauled coaches, beginning in 1982;[64] the last self-propelled run occurred in 1986.[65]
Brazil
[edit]
RFFSA (Brazilian Federal Railways) purchased four RDC-1s and two RDC-2s in 1958. These were 1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in) gauge but otherwise standard configuration. RFFSA ordered 23 more cars in 1962–1963. Four of these were 1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in) gauge RDC-1s. The other 19 were 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge and varied considerably from the standard RDC-1 design. The car body was based on the Pioneer III coach. Internal seating was 48 with a small buffet area or 56 in an all-coach configuration.[66] Several RDCs remain active on the Serra Verde Express tourist train.[67]
Cuba
[edit]In the 1950s, both major railway companies in Cuba purchased RDCs. Consolidated Railways of Cuba (Ferrocarriles Consolidados de Cuba) ordered 11 RDC-1s and 5 RDC-2s in 1950. These operated either singly or in multiple units of up to three cars. The Western Railways of Cuba (Ferrocarriles Occidentales de Cuba) ordered four RDC-1s and six RDC-3s in 1956–57. The cars remained in use after the Cuban Revolution with the Ferrocarriles de Cuba and operated into the 1980s.[68] At least one Cuban RDC-1 still existed in 2017, stripped of all mechanical components and serving as a passenger coach.
Saudi Arabia
[edit]The Arabian American Oil Company constructed a standard gauge railway in cooperation with the Saudi government. The company ordered three RDC-2s in 1951, supplemented by a fourth in 1958. The cars operated on various routes originating in Dammam. All were converted to unpowered trailers by 1965.[69]
