Turboliner on the Quinnipiac
Amtrak 2135, one of the gas turbine RTL Turboliner trains built by Rohr in 1976, is seen on a side track - once part of the loop track - at Cedar Hill Yard in Hamden, CT. The trainset, along with a couple of its siblings, were rebuilt in the late 90s into RTL-III trainsets for high-speed service between New York City and Albany. The project was ill-fated, and the rebuilt trainsets never entered service. The remaining un-rebuilt trainsets were eventually scrapped, with only the three rebuilt ones surviving to present day.
