Budd RDC's (Budd cars) are being extensively used in British Columbia, Canada.
BC rail uses them for regular passenger service as does E&N (Esquimalt &
Nanaimo).  BC rail runs them from north vancouver to Prince George. A real
pretty trip  is from North Van. to Lillooett. It can be done in one day, 
(round trip), and goes through some of the most beautiful scenery around. 
The cost is reasonable too. The E&N runs from Esquimalt (near Victoria) to
Courtenay. This trip can also be done in one day and offers some good scenery.
I've taken both trips and enjoyed them both. There is a lot of good railroading
here in the pacific northwest, so if you'd like some more information, try
email and I'll see if I can reply.
Have a good one
