Just to be historically accurate, they didn't "used to run Budd RDC's." There was only one, and it wasn't used on the NWP until the passenger train was cut back to Eureka-Willits only. Up until #3-4 were discontinued south of Willits, the consist was an SD7 and 2-3 cars. Splitting hairs, I know, but isn't that what railfanning is all about?
