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. |

this Diagram relates to the French SNCF (Societe Nationale des Chemins de Fer Francias) T1000/T1500 ETG ("Element a Turbine a Gaz") trainsets from which Amtrak's Turbo sets were developed |
Description: |
The Amtrak Turbo sets were developed from the French SNCF (Societe Nationale des Chemins de Fer Francias) T2000 RTG ("Rame a Turbine A Gaz") trainsets. Like the Amtrak versions they had 5 cars with a gas turbine power car at each end.They were built by ANF for SNCF from 1972 to 1976 and many have seen 30+ years of service on SNCF with the last set being withdrawn in April 2005. Some are preserved and some are now thought to be in iran and possibly North Africa. The SNCF T2000 RTG sets were themself developed from the SNCF T1000/T1500 ETG ("Element a Turbine a Gaz") trainsets first converted from an SNCF X4300 class DMU in 1967. The 1968-1973 production sets had 4 cars with the T1000 car containing the gas turbine and the T1500 car containing the diesel engine. The last SNCF T1000/T1500 ETG sets were retired in January 2001. Both types ran all over France. |
