Amtrak Turbo Train at Port (March 1975)

Due to the pandemic, all manufacturers have dealt with issues of having their models stuck in port (or off shore) waiting for clearance to dock and manpower to unload. In that vein, here is an interesting shot of an Amtrak Turbo train actually making its way through port. 

It is dated March 1975, which makes it part of one of the later French ANF RTG Turboliner trains (not to be confused with the earlier UAC Turbo Train or the later Rohr RTL Turboliners). The RTG trains first entered service in 1973, and Amtrak was impressed with them enough to order four more train sets in 1975. This is likely one of the coaches from that order.

Rapido not only indicated that there HO scale Rohr RTL Turboliners are in production, but they also announced that they were going to make them in N scale too. It won't be long until I have mine!
