All those are good Marty!  I had never seen the RDC door patch unit before.
Gosh, they had a bunch of RDC stuff.  I wonder if that Holiday Inn is still there?

Some of those door-patched castrated Budds ended up on other startup commuter carriers.  I believe some were in Dallas for a while, and maybe on some tourist operations as well.

If 5,6 and seven are taking on the same date,why are the backgrounds different?

Good eyes. Thanks. The last two photos show the remains of the old power house and were taken in June 26, 1983.  I've fixed the text.

This is my fourth of fifth MBTA posting.  A couple have been over on the Passenger Discussion because they are more recent photos.

In photos 6 & 7, I see two Canadian Pacific-liveried RDC's in the background. Were these additions to the MBTA roster?

Thanks,
