Turboliner 152

An RTL Turboliner trainset near the Baird Road crossing in East Rochester, New York. In the early 1970s New York State put up money for high speed rail service between New York City and Buffalo. Some of those funds went to purchase these turbine trainsets, some to upgrade sections of track for 110MPH operation. These trains were built by California's Rohr Industries, based on a French design already in use on some Midwest routes.
