   Thanks!   
      
      
   Ironically, the Budd Company's sprawling railway plant, on Red Lion Road in   
   northeast Phladelphia, was torn down to become a golf course.  However, I   
   think the course went out of business.  Haven't been down there in a while.    
   But it was very sad when    
   the plant* was torn down--the birthplace of so many high quality long lasting   
   stainless steel postwar railroad trains and subway cars.  Amfleet, of course,   
   is still running, as are the PATCO and R-32 cars.  I think some diners on Amk   
   LD trains are really    
   old (60 year) Budd built units.  A number of RDCs are still running, either   
   still as self propelled units, or as dead coaches.   
      
   *Originally built for Budd by the Army to build war planes.  Budd bought it   
   after the war and moved its railway division to it.
