Today, we take are taking an adventure to the Danbury
Railway Museum, by train.
We start out at Larchmont station, where we get on a local train to Stamford. Then, we transfer to a train to a New Haven bound train, and transfer at South Norwalk to a Danbury Branch Train. I did not film much on the main New Haven Line, as I already filmed
A video from New Rochelle to New Haven. I mainly filmed the Danbury Branch. I didn’t film the return trip.
We go to eat lunch, and have fun exploring the Museum!

    The Budd RDCs were/are self propelled cars, diesel. Each had a cab at both ends. However, the cabs were "naked" and the engineer would install levelrs etc only on the active cab. They were used for both intercity and commuter service. VIA Rail in CAnada still has a few that were rebuilt recently, used on the Sudbury-White River line.

    Thats not a budd metroliner. Its actually an old Spv-200 And was a DMU not an EMU. Its pretty hard to find them around nowadays.

    I initially didn't realize it was a Budd RDC. RDC's are Diesel Multiple Units, so technically it's just a cab, and not a cab car, because there is no locomotive pushing or pulling the consist. So you are technically right.

    The M2's were amazing that are real trains which are better. They were very convient and reliable to me when I used it from Grand Central to New Rochelle to go to work. I seriously dislike the M8's. which is why I takes a M3 metro north only to Wakefield and then take a orion v bee line 42 bus to new rochelle

Sometimes I feel like whenever I ride on a M3 and P32 it just reminds me of the good old days. The M1's, M2's, M3's, M4's, M6's and P32's has taken me to my destinations successfully.
