Re: PHOTOS: RDC Time!

On the evidence of performance, yes, they were worse. There are still a few 60-year-old RDCs in service. SPVs never caught on, and a few depowered survivors just headed south in freight service to a museum in South Carolina or somewhere. A sad technological failure.

My longest RDC ride was in 1969, GN (or by that time maybe BN) Winnipeg to Fargo. Not a bad ride, but the bell was ringing every...last...inch...of...the...way.
