ID on lightweight car ?
Author: gcm

April 1981
This car was being used by Speno but don't remember where.
Any idea on its history - maybe an ex-Southern coach ?

Good guess with that black painted roof.  It could be an ex-Southern 52 seat Budd coach.

Correct.  An ex-Southern 52 seat coach built by Budd in 1949.  Several went to Speno and have since been sold back into other private ownership to possibly be restored someday.

Did one of these go to EMD for their EMDX ET840 Test Car?
