| In 1976 Amtrak bought seven 5-car RTL (Rohr Turboliner) trains from Rohr Industries of Chula Vista, California, and in 1994 one train was upgraded into an RTL-II. This train consisted of power car-coach 151, coach 179, coach-snack car 180, coach 181 and power car-coach 159. After five months of service in New York State, the train set out on a demonstration tour around the eastern U.S. on 21 September1995. On 26 October 1995 it was seen here arriving in New Orleans from Meridian on the Norfolk Southern at Canal Blvd. In the foreground is the rear car of NS intermodal train #221, on its way to the SP. The RTL-II was on display at NOUPT on the 27th and left on the IC on the 28th. |
