[RITSlist] Gas-Electric Cars

[David Engle]

Looking to help Dr. Pollard by posing the following:  

Were any lightweight streamlined coaches used with gas-electric cars or the Budd RDC cars  on any regular basis anywhere on the system.  This is cars OTHER than the two Budd observations whose use in Arkansas is well documented.   What data is available on any cars that COULD have been so used--such as operable without locomotive-supplied steam heat.  Don't worry about the ex-M&St.L cars, they came too late to be so used, AFAIK.  

What were the rated capacities of the steam boilers on board RI diesels, in general terms.  

Thanks Much;
