UP Huntington Sub.

Ex BC Rail.

Formerly used on Eagle Cap Excurison Train in Northeast Oregon. This is a RDC-3 that originally contained postal and baggage compartments

Along the UP Main Line west of Ontari Oregon at Nelson Or were these 3 RDC Units. One RDC1 and 2 RDC3's I believe are shown here. They belong or used to belong to the WURR. What they be doing out here is anyones guess. But, here they are. BTW, I have seen RDC units before, but these are the first ones I have been able to shoot

Most like the cuprit of the derailment (qeportedly couplet to a tank car). Note the lack of coupler and some body damage.

Caught in a derailment on the UP while in transit from WURR Eagle Cap to the INPR Thunder Mountian line

the Eagle Cap train parked on the siding...

Since only the passenger train runs here, they can block the main.

I think I allready posted a simmilar shot, but from closer to the RDC's.

The tracks cross the confluince point of two rivers at this spot.

I had never ridden in or behind an RDC, they are much quieter than a locomotive.

A great ride along a clear river.

The flanges were squealing on this on.

Crews walk the train, looking for any problems before we get underway.

crews start the #31 in preparation for the days run.

The WURR used a pair of RDC's for it's smaller trains. On the longer trains, the RDC's are used as cabcars, as they are here.
