UAC TurboTrain
The UAC TurboTrain was an early high-speed train manufactured by United Aircraft Corporation that operated in Canada between 1968 and 1982 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 turbine-electric locomotives (GTELs) to enter service for passenger traffic, and was also one of the first tilting trains to enter service.
