Love the video! At my work we have a ex B&M Budd #6129 on site. It's demotored and we use it for washrooms. It was brought in and placed on site we similar to yours. Well done!
Whenever I see a story on the RDC, I think of Budd's attempt to produce a suitable successor in the SPV2000. Which then leads me to wonder how Budd could have produced such a colossal failure given the company's history of producing some of the greatest rail cars during the golden age or passenger rail travel.
Must have been 15 or 30 foot RPO sections. USPS would only lease exactly 15, 30, or 60 feet and had exact specifications for room layout and door and window type, size, and placement.
Most stuff will go back on (battery boxes, air tanks) the prime mover (it only had one left) was sold to a museum, the engine boxes will be reconstructed though, so it'll look the part.
False, wheels are in great shape and it's not burnt out. Tracks between North Walpole and Troy were torn up in 1984, that's why it wasn't moved by rail.
