I don't know if the link will work, it is to the private facebook group Northwest Railfans, you may need to register to see the comments (I have posted everything else). Not a lot of definites here (nor grammar). I'm not sure who the owner is but a comment says they were used behind SP&S 700 so I can guess. They were stashed at a business park I worked out of eleven years ago, along I-5 in the south Portland metro area (on a Portland & Western/G&W branch), and apparently out on the old POTB line before that. According to the comments there was a fire in at least one of them.

They are non-driving, but motorized, trailers, with 1 engine instead of the 2 in all other kinds of RDCs.
