The Roger Williams train was 6 Budd RDCs, the contemporary Dan'l Webster and John Quincy Adams trains were the not Budd cars.

A long-time RMNE member/supporter owns the three remaining RW cars-- two cabs and one middle car. The cabs are restored, the middle car is in the process of restoration.

The middle car came from MARC, right? It either has no vestibules, or only one, I believe.

Yeah, the stainless fluting is very different from other Budd coaches and RDC's. That was the main spotting characteristic for it.

As part of my penitence for mis-identifying the "Roger Willliams", I hereby present the groups with these two scans of the table card, advertising the "Danial Webster" talgo train.
Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.
