Ya'll probably know this train , but , ya hafta learn something new every day, and you might as well learn it in the Corvette Forum. I did not know CN had a turbo train, ran from Toronto to Montreal, top speed 270kph, but it never really did more that 150kph.

There is probably someone out there that restores them. It seems every type of vehicle has a club.

The beautiful grand railway stations of the past when rail travel was fast, comparatively, and convenient. We are lucky to still be able to see and admire a few of them.
