The fourth Rail Diesel
Car ordered by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
rolled out of the Budd Corporation's Red Lion
plant in Philadelphia on April 15, 1953
and joined the
Pittsburgh commuter pool for the Pittsburgh to Versailles
route.
On February 1, 1975, the Port Authority of Allegheny County took over
the commuter service
andleased 9913 until 1981.
It was then leased to the Maryland Department of Transportation
for use in the Washington-Baltimore area. MARC purchased it in 1991, and
it was retired on January 8, 1993.
9913 was donated to the B&O Railroad Museum as the last RDC to retain
its original B&O lettering. She has had minimal changes throughout her
service life.
The Fayette Central Railroad has leased the 9913 from the B&O Railroad
Museum
collection and restored the car to its original paint scheme inside.
Ride in air-conditioned comfort.
FCRR also has a former RF&P Alco S2 locomotive built in 1948,
a P&LE bay window caboose, and a Penn Central transfer caboose with a
platform on each end.
