Nice turbo. Those were neat trains - the windows were amazing after years of clocker coaches with scratched lexan. Maybe the turbos weren't reliable, and I am sure their use in the midwest had a lot of people concerned about grade crossing accidents, but they were something really different for Amtrak. Thanks for posting.

Agree with you!  I wouldn't mind it if Atlas reran them so I could get some more numbers!

Not a Rohr. That's a French Turbo.
