I finally had the chance to ride a Budd RDC consist today between Fort Worth and Dallas (TRE) and was most impressed with these old dogs, considering they are as old if not older than I am. Now I am trying to figure exactly how the mechanics of these things are laid out; from what I understand each truck is directly connected to a diesel, but I am wondering what all is located in the "hump" on the roof? I did notice there are exhaust stacks for the engines up there and it was interesting watching the shadows of the stack covers bouncing up and down as the engines accelerated and decelerated
Can anyone offer a mechanical overview?
