Description

The Budd Pioneer III was a light electric multiple unit (EMU) train built by Budd in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Only six were built, but the Pioneer cars were America's first and, with a weight of only 45 tons, lightest all-stainless-steel electric cars. The Pioneer III ended up as the prototype for the much more successful Silverliner electric cars. Two are preserved in Strasburg: No. 247 seen here, and its mate No. 246.

Looked like one of those Nippon Sharyos to me but I know it's not!
