Trail of the Turbo presents one of the most unique and colorful chapters in the history of American passenger railroading. A story of 13 red, white, and blue trainsets that brought together the jet engine and the flanged wheel; and assumed a public relations role far out of proportion to their limited numbers--becoming the face of Amtrak during three decades. A story of operation on seven routes, over ten railroads, in seven states and two countries, during a period of 31 years. A story of two manufacturers, three rebuilders, three maintenance facilities, and six equipment variations. A story of very special trains, and the people who built them, ran them, rode them, serviced them, and promoted them.
