RDC's exist in the greater Boston area in large numbers.  They are,
however, in a push/pull setup with GP-7's and FP-10's providing HEP.

Additionally, some of the RDC came from the New Haven, B&O, PC,
Reading and Canadian Pacific.  Many of the Reading cars still having
Reading lettering on them so it is not unusual to see an ex-BN GP-7
still in BN green pulling Boston & Maine and Reading Budd's at the
same time.
