Railcar

A Budd railcar, in Australia, in 1957.

Railcar is a term for a passenger railroad vehicle that does not rely on a dedicated locomotive, because it has its own motors.

In North America the Budd railcar was a widely used brand of railcar.

They are used to service inter-city passenger routes with a relatively small number of passengers. Several cities use railcars to carry airline passengers between the city centre and an outlying airport.

They are generally powered by a diesel engine.
