plt = ParametricPlot[{ {xd[t], xdd[t]}, {xr[t], xrd[t]}}, {t, 1000, 1500}];

The data for the first plot is plt[[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]]

The second plot is plt[[1, 2, 1, 1, 1]]

To compare with the original plot

Needs["Graphics`Graphics`"];
DisplayTogether[
    ListPlot[plt[[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]], PlotJoined -> True],
    ListPlot[plt[[1, 2, 1, 1, 1]], PlotJoined -> True]];
