Saturday, October 28, 2023, Kris and I drove to Bellefonte, Pa., to see the first runs of the Bellefonte Historical Railroad Society’s recent restored Budd-RDC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellefonte was hosting its Talleyrand Fall Fest and the traffic around the town was a bit intense. Also tickets for the train ride were completely sold out, so rather than travel on the car we settled on rolling by the RDC at a grade crossing near the station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trackage is operated by North Shore Railroad’s Nittany & Bald Eagle and historically was part of the PRR system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group’s RDC is car 9167, originally New Haven Railroad number 40, which makes it a sister car to Conway Scenic’s number 23 Millie<\/em> (originally New Haven number 23), which I’ve often featured on Tracking the Light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
