Railroad Hall of Fame Honors Budd
The National Railroad Hall of Fame inducted Edward Gowen Budd (1870-1946), founder in 1912 of the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Co. in Philadelphia, during recent ceremonies at St. Louis Union Station.
The Budd Co. made history in 1934 when it introduced the nation’s first stainless steel, diesel-powered streamliner, the Pioneer Zephyr.
Robert Furniss, vice president, business development and sales, U.S., for Bombardier Transportation, which acquired the Budd Co.’s passenger railcar designs and related assets, acknowledged the honor.
“We are honored to accept this award on Edward Budd’s behalf,” Furniss said. “Bombardier appreciates his significant contributions to the passenger railcar industry and is proud to be carrying on his legacy as an innovator and leader in modern mobility.”
