The mention of steam lines brings up a question or two.

WHY?

Were they to be used for heating the RDC, if the RDC was being used as a
regular coach and their engines were not running?

Were they in tended as a back up in case an RDC failed and had to be pulled
by a locomotive?

Were they pass through if there were cars behind the RDC in a train's
consist.

I would be very curious to know.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks both Dan and John. 
The second photo link from Dan shows great underside detail, if a little out
of shape. I see that it had steam lines also.
