You can order the Turbo book from our Swag store:

http://rapidotrains.com/swag/

We only have five left. I have allocated them to the US swag store which means they will show as sold out in the Canadian store. If you are in Canada, please send an email to orders@rapidotrains.com ASAP and let Dan know you want one.

Thanks,

Jason

Thanks.

Will get a copy of this publication ordered.

Here are a couple of photos from the dome.  Looking out the rear of the dome you see the train - if you looked out the front of the dome you were looking through the engineer's "cockpit".  Its 1975 and the Amtrak Turbotrain operated between New York and Boston on the schedule of the Amtak's Yankee Clipper.  I was in school in Providence and took the Turbotrain whenever I could to home in New York.  These seats were obviously very popular.  The TT was very loud in Penn Station.  I wish I took more photos.





Nice! That was 56/57, which was bought from CN and brought down from Montreal to Providence on October 3, 1973. There are some gorgeous pictures in the book of it coming down from Montreal. It was a beautiful day.

Four copies left, by the way.

If you are asking about the book, I think Jason was pretty clear about the availability and where it is sold in his earlier post: https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=40398.msg499149#msg499149

That was me - been wanting this book for some time, and somehow never thought to look under "swag" at the Rapido site!  Thanks for the nudge!
