The metroliner were EMUds (electric multiple units) build by the budd company (the same company who build the R32 subway car) which built in the late 60s, it was designed for first-class, high-speed service between New York City and Washington, D.C., on the Northeast Corridor. They were designed to go to speeds around 150 MPH, making them America’s first high speed train. They were owned by the Pennsylvania railroad (PRR) in 1967 then by Penn central and then by Amtrak in 1971. Due to their poor reliability they are converted to NPCU cab cars, (you can find them on the Keystone Service, Valley Flyer and Hartford Lines where they look like ordinary amfleet coaches but with the front of the cab car painted in yellow and black stripes). And thanks to the metroliners, this is where the airplane styled amfleet coaches were based on.
Leah: I rode a weird Amtrak train today on the keystone.
Cordilla: why is the train weird?
Leah: is This train that looks like the coach but with a yellow and black face.
Cordilla: ooohhhh I know what you’re talking about, it’s the budd metroliner cab car. They were converted into cab cars because it’s unreliable like a Maserati
Leah: they look weird but I like them, and that little history you told me about them me like them more

The Budd RDC Acronym for: Rail Diesel Car. Is A self-propelled diesel rail multiple unit (DMU), often called "Budd car" or "Buddliner," that was built by the Budd Company from 1949 to 1962. Primarily used for passenger service in rural areas or short-haul commuter routes, the Budd RDC was more cost-effective than traditional trains that required separate locomotives and coaches. The units could operate alone or be coupled together in sets, with the ability to control the entire train from the front car. Known for its commercial success in North America, the RDC was one of the earliest examples of modern diesel multiple unit (DMU) trains, a design now widely used worldwide.
"I caught a ride on VIA Rail's northern routes last year, and it was amazing to see one of their classic Budd RDCs still in action. These self-propelled cars are perfect for the less-traveled, rural lines—fast, efficient, and nostalgic for anyone who remembers when they were first introduced."
