My background is PRR, and we didn't call them doodlebugs either. I first
"heard" the term in "Trains" magazine, and early on figured it was a western
thing--it wasn't. I really don't like the Doodlebug term: It's demeaning and
denigrates the concept. We called them "gas-cars," even after dieselization.
My grandfather's last run in 1955 was on a Brill 350.
