This was posted on YT this week. It has an annoying banner but still enjoyable.

Produced by Sikorsky Aircraft for Amtrak in 1971, "Tour of the Turbo" follows the debut trip of the brand new Turbotrain.

Talk about a nostalgia hit. Makes me want to dig my Rapido TurboTrain out of mothballs and see if I can get the d**n thing to make a whole lap around the layout without snagging on turnout points.  :facepalm:

I'm surprised Rapido hasn't done the paint scheme found in the Illinois Central proposal.
