"While doodlebugs have become endeared by many railfans and historians over the years due to their small size and quaint nature (serving bucolic towns and communities) they actually filled a very important role for the industry. Developed during the early 20th century these rail cars, most of which were powered with gasoline engines and not diesels, enabled railroads to reduce operating costs associated with light branch and secondary lines that saw either little passenger and/or freight traffic. The motorized cars have become known by many names and while it is not quite known where the name Doodlebug was derived the car should not be confused with the Rail Diesel Car, or RDC. Today, a number of Doodlebugs remained preserved at various museums around the country." (From:AmericanRails.com)
