Horloge Ronde Roger Williams Train Set Wall Clock

From www.railphotoexpress.biz The Roger Williams quoi a streamlined, six car lightweight, DMU passenger train, built by the Budd Company of Philadelphia Pennsylvania, 1956 for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. Le train est basé sur Budd's successful DMU. The end two cars were equipped with streamlined locomotive style cabs and noses, resembling those on the Fairbanks-Morse P-12-42 Diesel locomotives. The four intermediate cars lacked operating controls and cabs. Pour opération into Grand Central Terminal, the cars were each equipped with third-rail-shoes, and small traction motors, allowing them to operate into the terminal under electric power, with their engines shut down. After a short period of time in high speed service, the train was split up, and the cars were used in service with the New Haven's other RDC. They worked for the New Haven, Penn Central, and Amtrak, until the last cars were retired in the 1980 s. This Photo de quoi taken in The Danbury Railway Museum by Stan Feldman on July 6 2002.
