The UAC TurboTrain was an early high-speed, gas turbine train manufactured by United Aircraft Corporation that operated in Canada between 1968 and 1984 and in the United States between 1968 and 1976 (though they were not disposed of by Amtrak until 1980). It was one of the first gas turbine powered trains to enter service for passenger traffic, and was also one of the first tilting trains to enter service.
Famous quotes containing the word train:
“My heart is warm with the friends I make,
And better friends Ill not be knowing,
Yet there isnt a train I wouldnt take,
No matter where its going.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (18921950)
