	Budd Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edward Budd's fame came from his invention of the 'shotweld' technique for joining pieces of stainless steel without damaging the anti-corrosion properties of the stainless steel.
		From the 1930s until 1989 The Budd Company was also a leading manufacturer of stainless steel streamlined passenger rolling stock for a number of railroads.
		Budd also built two-story gallery passenger cars for Chicago-area commuter service on the Milwaukee Road, Burlington Route, and Rock Island lines duing the 1960s and 1970s; most of these cars are still in service on today's Metra routes.

		Soon Budd was looking into developing his idea for using a lightweight alloy -- a type of stainless steel called 18 and 8 (low-carbon steel with 18 percent chrome and 8 percent nickel) -- to build trains.
		In 1931 Ralph Budd, the recently appointed president of the Burlington Railway (and no relation to Edward), suspected that stainless steel was just the sort of injection that passenger rail travel needed to give it a boost in the lean years of the Depression.
		Budd added a new diesel engine from General Motors, and the Zephyr was off and running, faster than any train had traveled before.

		The Budd Company was awarded the contract and on April 18 1934 the Zephyr was christened at Pennsylvania Railroad's Broad Street Station in Philadelphia PA. The three car train was articulated, riding on four roller bearing trucks, one on each end and one between each of the cars.

	bevteccom.co.uk - Railways of the World - Budd RDC
		Most Budd RDC services now use a minimum of two RDCs in multiple - a sensible precaution given their age, and the loss of one of the four available engines on the pair is far from uncommon but typically does not impact on the train's ability to keep to it's timetable.
		One of the keys to the design of the Budd RDC units was their ability to be linked together with other similar units to operate as a single train under the control of one driver.
		When the railroad companies were absolved of their responsibilities in running passenger services by the formation in 1971 of Amtrak in the USA and later in Canada, VIA Rail, many of the RDCs were sold by their previous owners.

		While leading the CBQ, he met Edward G. Budd (no relation), who had formed the Budd Company in 1912, and had recently begun to apply his automobile body construction knowledge to build railroad passenger equipment in a new venture using stainless steel.
		The Budd Company built the Pioneer Zephyr for CBQ, and the train's "dawn-to-dusk" run from Denver, Colorado, to Chicago, Illinois, on May 26 1934, in an unprecedented 13 hours and five minutes, helped usher in the railroad streamliner era.
		Hamilton, president of the Winton Motor Company which built the motor for the train, were passengers aboard the record-setting run; the train's speed averaged 77.1 miles per hour (124.1 km/h), reaching a top speed of 112.5 miles per hour (181 km/h).
