One of the things that makes RP so great is the abundance of such rare photos of these sets. Thanks for posting Don! Hard to believe that these Turbotrains of the late 60's are to this date the fastest scheduled production trains to ever ride the rails in North America - 'cept maybe the ICE trains brought over for testing over 20 years later.
