New Haven Railroad Equipment Move On The Housatonic. On Sunday, August 10, 2025, Webb Rail LLC - WEBX FL-9 2058 (ex-CTDX 2024, née-NH 2058, EMD) and “The Roger Williams” RDC set were towed by Housatoic Railroad HRRC GP15-1 1510 from Canaan, Connecticut to Lenox, Massachusetts after the "Railroad Days" event. The train was operated by a Houstonic Railroad crew.

Built by Budd for the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad (NYNH&H) as an experimental set in 1957, “The Roger Williams” is an high-speed train set that largely used the existing design of the RDC (Rail Diesel Car) to create a six-car air conditioned train with cabs at both ends to facilitate rapid turns at terminals. The train included small traction motors that operated on third rail to allow for operation into Grand Central Terminal and operated across various routes in New England, though not as a single train, into the Amtrak era. In 2023, the RDC Foundation assembled the three remaining cars and worked with the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum to move the set to Lenox, Massachusetts.
