RCC6 (Remote Control Car) ex BN/GN from an EMD "B" unit. BC Rail purchased several of these cars from CPR and BN in the early 1970's and eventually had 10 in service. The RCC cars were the receiving unit for the radio signals from the leading control unit and the RCC was MU'd to the remote control mid-train units. The technology was quite primitive by today standards and the RCC's were not reliable. They were eventually replaced by the MLW M420B, RCL units that BC Rail bought equipped with upgraded electronics and air brake manifold.
