Prototype Information
New Haven - In this first paint scheme, the TurboTrain achieved its phenomenal 170.8 MPH speed record on standard tracks in New Jersey. 1967-1969
Penn Central - Although it was a New Haven initiative, the TurboTrain entered regular service on the Penn Central on April 9, 1969. 1969-1971
Early Amtrak - In 1971, the TurboTrain was given this striking new paint scheme for a showcase tour of the USA. 1971-1973
Late Amtrak - This was a unique application of Amtrak's Phase 1 paint scheme and was very distinctive as it roared past. 1973-1979

On December 20, 1967 the United Aircraft TurboTrain rocketed to an amazing 170.8 MPH on the Pennsylvania Railroad in New Jersey. To this date, this is still the fastest speed ever achieved by a production passenger train in the United States or Canada.

On April 22, 1976 a Canadian National TurboTrain reached a speed of 140.6 MPH between Montreal and Toronto. This is still the Canadian speed record.

This year, Rapido Trains Inc. finally brings you the first ever accurate model of the TurboTrain - North America's fastest train.

Now you can relive your memories of seeing this train roar past. Both engines are sound-equipped, so your TurboTrain will roar at the front and the rear just like the real thing.

Our Ready-to-Run TurboTrain comes in a 3-car, powered set. For speed and reliability, BOTH ENGINES ARE POWERED WITH SOUND. You can order more Intermediate Cars to make a longer train. Several different Coach, Cafe and Club cars are available, depending on your choice of paint scheme.

ACCURATE
We designed our models with the help of two senior designers from the original TurboTrain.

EXPANDABLE
The TurboTrain can be expanded up to nine cars long, just like the prototype. Additional coaches are available with different car numbers for all paint schemes.

For CN and VIA trains, we offer special Turbo TwoPacks - a TurboClub and TurboCafe car together for a reduced price.

AFFORDABLE
A complete, sound-equipped train... for the same price as a steam locomotive.
