Passenger Trains > Turboliners @ Bear, DE accessible?

With the Turboliner equipment in New York being auctioned off, I imagine the three completed sets in Amtrak's possession aren't far behind. Just curious, anyone know if they are viewable/accessible without getting arrested? I'd love to get a few photos of 'em before they become scrap.

(Might be passing through the general area along Route 13 in the near future, but I'm guessing they're not really visible without tresspassing.)

in a highly non photographic location in the facility especially if tracks are filled next to them ... i see on google they moved the sets closer to the building ... i haven't been in the bear shop facility in years ... there's no access except through the main gate ... even from Rt40 with a long lens and the tracks clear you wouldn't be able to produce a good shot

Ah well, that's what I figured. Thanks for the info!

We were able to get up close and personal with them during the summer at RailCamp, they were pretty tucked back there... Also some other goodies...

Wow, thanks for sharing the photos. Kinda sad...if I remember correctly based on the #2143, that's the third set there that never even carried a single passenger.

Now, if those sleek cabs are FRA compliant, why did Talgo have to make its new cab cars so flipping ugly?!

Here it is at Super Steel back in 2002. Don't believe it ever ran.

Three trainsets were completed, two of which ran. (I rode aboard both rebuilt sets that saw limited revenue service back in 2003.)

Because they wanted to save a few bucks by not actually having an industrial designer with a good track record as part of the team?

Mr. Loewy, we miss you!

I'd rather see those F40's back on their feet than those Turbos.

I agree, at least the F40s could run forever if they're properly maintained compared to the stories I heard on here about the Turboliners!
