Yesterday and again today I spotted 2 Budd RDC's at Gardner MA yard.
These are in onterchange to/from P&W and Guilford.
One is NH 162, the other does not have NH markings, only marked as 1950.
Anyone know where these are coming from or going to??

NH 162 is last remaining center car of Jim Gagliardi's Roger williams set.
The 1950 is ex MARC1 ex B&O 1950 one of two Dinner RDC's built for the B&O speedliners.
Both should be on their way from HOBO RR in New Hampshire to Danbury Railway Museum Mr Gagliardi had these restored to full operational status and both should be ready for service.
Now if DRM could only get insurance for excusions.
A trip up Housatonic in the Roger williams would be grat in summertime.

thanks,
I thought it was a Roger Williams car.

After re-checking photos, found typo on the other car number, actually 1960.
