The RDC's had a habit of "disappearing" on CTC boards(not shunting)running as a single car and would run under Positive Block protection from interlocking to
interlocking on the NYC,then under PC,the "norm" was to run with 2 RDC's to ensure a track shunt for signals and crossing gates on the
Hudson line Croton-Poughkeepsie locals. The Harlem Line north of Brewster(Put Jct) was Manual Block to Dover Plains was normally a
single car run(after PC got "their" way in a Philly court to kill off Chatham service!).
PC followed the 2 car "norm" on the NHV-Springfield shuttles before and after "A" day.
After the New Haven+PC(shotgun) merger and the creation of the "Metro Region" for all service out of GCT.
The Danbury Branch (other than the 2 thru peak service trains) and the Waterbury Branch services were 1 or 2 car RDC runs
The RDG RDCs used on the "Wall Street" NWK -RDG Terminal(Philly) run used an "exciter"to ensure track shunting.
The service went to the CNJ Jersey City Terminal untill rerouted on the NEC at Hunter to Newark Penn Station.
