Does Metro North have any RDC 1s, 2s, or 3s?

According to a roster in "RDC" by Edmund Kielty and Donald Duke Metro North had 10 RDC 1's which were formerly used on the New Haven and the New York Central.

Amazing that the SPV2000s were built to replace the RDCs and yet the RDCs have proven to be the better and tougher railcar (as well as quieter, roomier, and more comfortable).

Truly built to last!
