Turbo coaches |
| Description: |
For the fun of it, some friends and I took the new Turboliner between Buffalo and Rochester in 1977. We were college freshmen railfans, and I remember the fare was $15 roundtrip! |

Shrink wrapped |
| Description: |
A turboliner engine sets shrink wrapped behind Super Steel Schenectady where the turbos were supposed to be refurbished. Deal fell through, between Amtrak and NY DOT. At a loss of $70 million. Court cases settled. These turboliners are for sale on ebay! |

| Description: |
Another shot of this turbo loco rotting away in the weeds behind Super Steel Schenectady. A simple, unique feature of these locos was the "police car" type lights atop the front. A precursor of today's ditch lights. |
