| Probably the only one of its type preserved in a museum setting, former Metro North SPV-2000 293 rests near the back of the CERM's yard awaiting restoration. The Budd Company of Philadelphia constructed thirty of these self propelled cars with most of them sold to either Metro North or ConnDOT. Originally meant to be a successor to the RDC, these cars never lived up to expectations and suffered so much from frequent breakdowns that they were more often than not towed behind a locomotive. |
