Photo: A trio of CN Budd RDC cars, lead by RDC-3 6351, heads westbound through Bayview Junction on the Oakville Sub, likely enroute down the Grimsby Sub to Niagara Falls. CN, CP and later VIA had a habit of converting their RDC-3 cars (Baggage/RPO/coach) into RDC-1 (coach) or RDC-2 (baggage/coach) configurations for more seating. CN 6351 changed hands to VIA, operated for a few years as an RDC-3 until it was rebuilt as an RDC-2 numbered 6225 in 1984.
