George Hamlin and Martin K OToole have posted some fantastic rare photos of this magnificent train, look 'em up or simply search "Turbo train" and/or "Turbotrain" on this site.

When i was little the Turbo Train came to Clearwater on the way to St.petersburg-what a great day that was.

See also, Tim Darnell, for a really nice color photo of sister unit #56 while it was nice and shiney.
I never saw one run but was fortunate enough to atleast see (4) in the yard back to back in 1981.
I believe the last runs were in 1976 so these units sat for some time.

Somehow I missed seeing this shot. The turbo looks very vintage in this shot.
No examples survive, shameful.
