ADAMS, Mass. — The Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum will run its first excursions with former New Haven Budd Rail Diesel Car this weekend, as RDC-1 No. 41 runs on Past Peak Fall Train Rides this Saturday, Oct. 28, and Halloween Costume trains on Sunday, Oct. 29. Trains will run on the Adams Branch, departing from Adams at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday. Sunday’s 1 p.m. train is sold out but tickets remain for the 3 p.m. trip. Tickets are available here.
No. 41 is one of five RDCs leased by the museum from the Budd RDC Foundation earlier this year and moved to the museum’s two sites. No. 41 and RDC-2 No. 1960, built for the Baltimore & Ohio, are at the Hoosac Valley Serivce in Adams; a three-unit set of the remaining equipment from the Roger Williams, the all-RDC passenger train built for the New Haven, is at the Lenox Station Museum in Lenox, Mass.

More information on the museum is available at its website.
