CDOT car |
| Description: |
Connecticut DOT acquired a variety of rail equipment, which was painted variously for Metro North, Amtrak, and later New Haven, heritage units long before NS or UP had the idea. Despite the paint jobs, it ran where DOT needed it, and it was not uncommon to see an Amtrak painted car on a New Haven commuter train. Such is the case here, a CDOT car painted Amtrak working on the Danbury Branch. |

BUDX SPV-2000 Demonstrator |
| Description: |
Nice color slide of the Budd Co SPV-2000 demonstrator in one of its short lived trial runs. The concept for the SPV-2000 was a self-propelled diesel multiple unit railcar based on the lightweight Amfleet passenger car to be used by commuter railroads. Budd built only 31 units but they proved unreliable. The exact location was not given but based on the SPV-2000 schedule of trials, it probably is somewhere in Massachuetts. Unknown photographer. |

BUDD SPV-2000 |
| Description: |
BUDD SPV-2000 at a railroad trade fair on the site of IC's Central Station (demolished in 1974) on an unknown day in July 1982, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in 1977 at Budd's Troy, Michigan plant, the SPV-2000 demonstrator was powered by two 360 horsepower GM diesel engines coupled to twin disc torque converters driving the inboard axles on the Pioneer III trucks (the original design was for all axles to be driven, but that would qualify the car as a locomotive requiring a full crew). Introduced at Washington D.C. on January 18, 1978, it was planned to show at it at seven cities, but was cut short when both the MBTA and Chicago's RTA requested revenue tests. On the Chicago tests, the car failed to activate signals, which was traced back to the disc brakes. The brakes were not at fault, however, since the wheel treads were not polished by brake shoes, and a single lightweight car with less than optimum clean wheels was insufficient to shunt the low voltage signal current across the rails. Budd later developed a scrubbing device to keep the wheel treads polished. Later, problems developed with the manifolds and starters on the diesels, which were addressed by GM, but tainted the reputation of the SPV-2000. Only 24 units were sold. This particular unit was never sold to a railroad, and was cut up for scrap when Budd's Red Lion plant was demolished around 1999. |
