Budd RDC move from Croxton Yard - Allentown Yard

A Budd RDC should be traveling on the Lehigh Line hopefully either today (Aug 3) or tomorrow (Aug 4). It should be travelling on either NS 33K or H76 from Croxton - Allentown. If anyone has any other information please feel free to share.

Most likely 33K as H76 is an Allentown based local.

The Budd RDC you are referring to is the Susquehanna M-1. It is on it's way to the BelDel in Phillipsburg for the THS.

Any photos of it being moved from Butler to Passaic Jct.? This will likely be the last time ever it is on home rails.

Thanks for sharing the photos. I was trackside until about 9 or 9:30 and he had not come through Bethlehem yet.

All, since NS 33K dropped of the M-1 at Allentown tonight, there is a good chance that it will most likely be on the local going from Allentown to Phillipsburg and north. If anyone lives or will be in the area, I would say to watch out for it most likely tomorrow and if not then saturday. Not exactly sure what the calling sign for the local would be for this one. (One of the few train symbols I forgot.)

Is this the RDC that was in Winslow Jct?

Later!

no, actually this one was in Butler.

It appears NYSW M1 is dedicated in honor of Morristown & Erie's late president Benjamin J. Friedland (who is also honored on their SW1500 20).

The NYSWTHS deadicated the M1 to Ben shortly after his unfortunate passing back in 1998.

The M7 is still at Winslow Junction.

Thanks guys. I haven't been down to Winslow in quite some time. It is always interesting to drive by and look at the old stuff. But I understand that the new owners don't want the old stuff since they sit on rails that could generate income as storage tracks.

Later!

Sorry I have been slow with the updates, the M-1 was delivered to Hudson Yard in Phillipsburg and then picked up by the NYS&W T&HS last Tuesday.
