After the end of BC Rail's passenger service, two former BC Rail Budd
Cars, BC-15 (an RDC-1) and BC-30 (an RDC-3) were acquired by the newly
formed Wilton Scenic Railroad in Wilton, New Hampshire.
The Wilton Scenic Railroad openned for business in the spring of 2003
with these two Budd RDCs as it's sole passenger equipment. By all
accounts, the new Railroad had a successful first season and brought
a significant influx of visitors to the sleepy town it calls home.
The line is pleasantly picturesque with a regional park making a pleasant
end-of-the-line reversing point, some dozen or so miles in a westerly
direction out of Wilton. Wilton itself is in southern New Hampshire, a
little west of Nashua - it's a couple of hours drive from Boston MA.
