Four ex-New Haven and one ex-B&O RDCs (Including the three remaining cars of the NH Roger Williams trainset, long under refurbishment/restoration) are reported as in transit from the Hobo Railroad in New Hampshire to the Berkshire Scenic Railway in western Massachusetts.

Report is that all are going to Lenox Ma. for the moment, the 41 and the 1960 were to have been diverted to Adams, as operational units.

The day that someone posted a video of these cars on the move in Bow, NH, BSRM just happened to post an old picture of one of the Roger Williams cab units to their Facebook page. Felt a bit too on the nose. Good to know they're in a good place.

B&O 1960 was one of the food service RDCs, correct?

I believe you're right. Although if we want to get technical, the blind RW trailer RDC WAS the trailer set up for food service originally... Pretty sure it's in coach configuration though.

That said, there's definitely a lot of work that's been done to the RW set. I'm curious, but what hasn't been done with it at this point?

Two, 1960 and 1961, later 9940-41. 1961/9941 is still at the B&O RR Museum as a Speedliner car; I believe it was in more original condition after MARC refurbished 9940 as MARC 1.

I believe at one time 1961 was being used as the snack bar for the museum.
