It was a success with the passengers, but did fit with conventional trains in operations. It was really just an experiment. It was probably the best equipment the PC ever operated.

Not a single example survives, yet it was, and still is as of 2007, America's fastest train ever produced and put into regular service. (Yes, it achieved a higher speed in test runs then even the Acela). Great catch, Donald! Tis the first time I've even seen this livery with the Penn Central Noodle! Posted by Brian Hiscock on November 16, 2007 Glad to hear that they worked good on the PC, as they were nothing short of junk with CN/VIA service in Canada, unfortunately. Nice photo, Donald. - Post a Comment - (Registration is no longer required to post photo comments.)
