B&M RDCs
Title:  B&M RDCs
Description:  I only visited Boston once as a teenager, but I enjoyed going to both North Station and South Station. The Boston and Maine operated its commuter service with a fleet of about one hundred RDCs and here are a number laying over at North Station during the day in November 1975. In about a year, these units would be sold to the MBTA.
