The story of America's gas turbine TurboTrain
With real, made-for-aircraft gas turbine engines aboard, an aluminum shell, and a state of the art tilting system, this was supposed to be the future of fast trains in North America.
But after a troubled launch event, ongoing mechanical problems and rising oil prices, the future wasn’t so bright after all.
So stick around until the end of this video to find out the story of the American TurboTrain, a 170 miles per hour gas turbine track machine that had all the right ingredients to be great, but eventually went up in smoke. Literally.
