TurboTrain, 1968 |
Description: |
Chione. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken in Morrisville, Pennsylvania, during January of 1968. The photographer is not identified. Shown here is United Aircraft's "TurboTrain" No. 1 (UAC-1). According to a reliable source, "In both Canada and the United States, the TurboTrain debuted in 1968 and could operate at speeds of up to 160 mph ~ although generally, they did not top 120 mph while in regular service. For a gas-turbine design, the trainsets still hold the world speed record of nearly 171 mph. This was accomplished using just two power cars and a single coach in December of 1967 along the Pennsylvania Railroad's main line in New Jersey, a year before the streamliner went into revenue service." |

Amtrak Turbo 50 |
Description: |
Three months after Amtrak began running trains, it sent United Aircraft TURBOTRAIN set 50/51 on a nationwide tour to show Americans what the future of passenger travel would look like. Things didn't quite work out the way Amtrak showed us, but here was Paul Oliver in font of power car 50 while the train was on display at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. The gold stripes on the train were actually black SCOTCHLITE, and the young woman on the left was wearing a purple SMILE A WHILE ON THE TURBOTRAIN sticker. The train had just arrived on the Southern Railway and left two days later on the Southern Pacific, and several of us got to ride it to Lafayette. Illinois Central coach 2504 had been built in October 1946 as Chicago & Eastern Illinois 463 VERMILLION TRAIL and was purchased by the IC in 1961. |

AMTK TurboTrain #50 |
Description: |
Looking like a combination of an ocean ship and a wing-stripped airplane, the TurboTrain was an interested and unusual experiment. Built by United Aircraft of Canada, this was a high speed gas-turbine sleek even had the first ever tilting mechanism in the US for cornering curves. Although distinctive in design, there were lingering problems with the overall service and Amtrak finally pulled them from revenue service in 1976. No photographer was listed for the 620 film sized photo. |

Amtrak's United Aircraft "TurboTrain" rusts at Ivy City |
Description: |
Early in 1978, while on a business trip to Washington, DC, CKF took this Tri-X Pan exposure from a northbound Amtrak. It is of a recently retired TurboTrain (#57). Originally ordered by Montreal Locomotive Works for Canadian National in 1966 (delivered 1971?), this was one of two train sets cobbled together of leftover CN sets in 1973 for Amtrak (to compliment the sets they already owned). It ran in Boston to New York service and was powered by United Aircraft (Sikorsky) gas-turbine engines. |
