(PHOTOS) Amtrak Turboliners in storage |

Posted by Atomsk on Mon Oct 9 11:29:46 2006 Here are a few photos, "mined" from Google Earth, showing the Amtrak Rohr Turboliners at the SuperSteel plant in Scotia NY.This data may be a few years old, but at that time, the RTLs were still in NY. This is the RTLII set, rebuilt in the early '90s. It was the last set in service, and it looks to be the most intact of the un-rebuilt equipment. Two power cars on the left, three trailers on the right. Note the blue-roofed rebuilt trailers, and the dark roof of the un-rebuilt car. The turbines exhaust upwards, and though relatively clean, the roofs did get stained quickly in service. The white cars are either incomplete rebuilds or completed cars in plastic "cocoons". Here are three completed cars, wraped in white plastic. The two on the right look like power cars, with a partly "peeled" trailer on the left. |
