Associated Builders Edward G. Budd Mfg. Co., 1912-1946; Budd Co., 1946-present; American Pulley; Hale & Kilburn Mfg. Co.; Thyssen AG; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania & Troy, Michigan Thyssen Krupp AG Edward Gowan Budd was born on Dec. 28, 1870 in Smyrna, Delaware to Henry George Budd, Smyrna’s Justice of the Peace. From an early age, Budd had an aptitude for all things mechanical and following his graduation from high school, Pictures he apprenticed as a machinist at Smyrna’s G. W. and S. Taylor Iron Works. He moved to nearby Philadelphia in 1890 taking a job as a machinist at the Sellers Machine and Foundry Co. and later on the Bement-Pond Tool Company (Niles- Bement-Pond starting in 1899), a manufacturer of machines tools and hydraulic presses. At night Budd took classes in drafting and engineering at the Franklin Institute, the University of Pennsylvania and the International Correspondence School. A friend of Budd’s named Thomas Corscaden designed a stamped sheet-steel pulley that was both lighter and cheaper to produce than traditional cast-iron versions and sold the design to George Cresson, the owner of the Philadelphia’s American Pulley Co. Budd joined his friend at American Pulley as their chief draftsman in 1898, and married his wife Mary the following year. Aside for their pulleys, American manufactured many other items including stamped steel pedestals that were built for Hale & Kilburn, a Philadelphia furniture manufacturer that specialized in producing seating for railways, subways and trolleys. Located at 48-50 North 6th St. (at Arch St.), Hale & Kilburn started off building parlor furniture, commodes and other household products in 1873. By the turn of the century they had become famous for their streetcar and railroad seating. They even developed a “walkover” railroad bench seat that incorporated a pedestal that allowed it to be rotated 180 degrees allowing it to face forward or backward depending on the direction of train. At the time, most of their seating was built using cast-iron frames and pedestals. Budd’s expertise in stamped steel engineering caught the attention of Hale & Kilburn’s management and in 1902 they hired him away with an offer twice his former salary. His job was to develop pressed steel replacements for their cast- metal products, thereby reducing both their weight and their cost. Using a combination of sheet steel stampings and oxy-acetylene welding, he succeeded and was appointed works manager within a couple of years. In 1895, French chemist Henry Le Chatelier discovered that combustion of equal quantities of acetylene and oxygen produced a 6000° F flame, a flame significantly hotter than any produced by the various gases used previously. In References 1903, Thomas Wilson created the first oxyacetylene torch, and in 1907, the www.buddcompany.com country’s first oxygen plant was built in Buffalo, New York. A Frenchman named David Bourneville developed a technique that was perfected by a Hale & Kilburn www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/streamliners/index.html employee named Morris Lachman, who worked with Budd and deserves a share of the credit for his pioneering work in the field.

  • About the Pioneer Zephyr
    About the Pioneer Zephyr The Pioneer Zephyr is America’s first diesel-electric, streamlined, stainless-steel passenger train. It is located in the Museum’s Entry Hall and was renovated and conserved in 2020. History In an attempt to increase rail passenger traffic, the Burlington Zephyr was built for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company (CB&Q) in 1934 by the Budd Company of Philadelphia. The Burlington Zephyr offered high-speed transportation in an elegant, streamlined, stainless steel design. It was the first diesel-electric passenger train to enter regular service. The train was renamed the “Pioneer Zephyr” in 1936 because it was the first of several diesel-powered Zephyrs built for the CB&Q. On May 26,1934, the Pioneer Zephyr left Denver and arrived in Chicago 13 hours and five minutes later to reopen the A Century of Progress World’s Fair in 1934. That single nonstop trip of 1,015 miles at record-breaking average speed of 77.6 mph changed the course of railroading and land transportation. Never before had a train traveled more than 775 miles without stopping for fuel and water. The Pioneer Zephyr, nicknamed the “Silver Streak,” was donated to the Museum of Science and Industry in 1960 and was displayed outside next to the 999 Empire State Express locomotive near the Columbia Basin. In 1997, the Museum hired Northern Rail Car of Milwaukee to restore the Pioneer Zephyr to it 1930s-era glory. The gleaming, refurbished train was then moved to a new, underground gallery at the Museum in 1998. The exhibit closed in October 2019, to make way for a completely new exhibition, opening in March 2021.

They were the last full diners built before the advent of Amtrak. They displaced the Pullman-Standard dining cars NP 450-455 to service on the Mainstreeter. The Budd diners operated between Chicago and Seattle until the end of BN service in 1971. Dining cars were cycled in and out of eastbound No. 26 at St. Paul Union Depot and were serviced at the nearby NP Commissary. Five of the six cars were purchased by Amtrak in 1971 and operated in the North Coast Hiawatha, and later in the "Heritage Fleet", particularly on the trains between Chicago and New York and Washington.

  • 5/15/2020: Rail Excursion Management Company (Railexco) Announces Their Acquisition of Three Budd Tubular Passenger Cars from Amtrak
    5/15/2020: Rail Excursion Management Company (Railexco) announces their acquisition of three Budd Tubular Passenger Cars from Amtrak. These historically significant railcars will be used in various excursion and car lease capacities. Railexco is the first private owner of these “Amfleet™” cars. Railexco’s purchase of these cars, two coaches and a cafe, signifies a new era in passenger and excursion railroading. The cars, built between 1974 and 1977 are the first iteration of Amtrak’s “Amfleet,” and the first new cars purchased by the National Railroad Passenger Corporation after its inception in 1971. Built by the Budd Company, these all-stainless steel constructed cars are still used today in daily service by Amtrak. Now in their fourth decade of use, the history and importance of these cars cannot be overstated, says Railexco CEO Adam Auxier: “These are the cars we grew up riding, but more importantly these cars represent a sea change in American passenger railroading. We’re proud to showcase these cars as examples of the next generation of living, rolling railroad history.” The cars will be moved from a secure Amtrak facility on the east coast, and drafted into service almost immediately at a midwestern tourist railroad. Railexco’s dedication to preserving the history of passenger railroading extends not just to events like the popular Autumn Colors Express or our various private car charters, and we are excited to share these cars with the public today, and for years to come. Rail Excursion Management Company is the national leader in private railcar charters, Amtrak Special Trains, passenger rail logistics, and car management.

    Budd RDC (Rail Diesel Car) Boston & Maine RDC-1, RDC-2, RDC-3, RDC-9 for DTG Train Simulator 2015 by VNHRR 1 What is RDC? 2 Installation and System Requirements 3 The Model in Detail 4 Cab Controls 5 Copyright, Repaints, Distribution, Warranty 6 Credits, Support, Dovetail Games Disclaimer 1 What is RDC? Origins In the mid-20th century, passenger rail traffic in rural areas of the U.S. came under pressure due to increasing individual car ownership and the expanding highway network. In an effort to keep railroads competitive on less frequented passenger services, the Budd company of Philadelphia, PA, developed the RDC, short for Rail Diesel Car, a self- propelled, lightweight rail vehicle. RDC's were offered in four configurations: the RDC-1, with seating for 89 passengers, the RDC-2, with seating for 70 passengers and a small baggage compartment, the RDC- 3, which offered space for 48 passengers and had both baggage and mail compartments, and lastly the RDC-4, designed exclusively for mail/express cargo. The first regularly scheduled RDC runs took place on the New York Central's Boston & Albany Railroad, with two cars operating between Boston and Springfield. Many other railroads acquired RDC's soon after, among them such famous names like the Boston & Maine, Baltimore & Ohio, Canadian Pacific, Chicago & Northwestern, Great Northern, Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania- Reading Seashore Lines, Santa Fe, or Western Pacific, and of course the NYNH&H, owning the second largest RDC fleet in the U.S. (not counting the Roger Williams variant), second only to the Boston & Maine's 79 RDC units.
