HISTORY
On December 20, 1967 the United Aircraft TurboTrain rocketed to an amazing 170.8
MPH on the Pennsylvania Railroad in New Jersey. To this date, this is still the
fastest speed ever achieved by a production passenger train in the United States
or Canada. On April 22, 1976 a Canadian National TurboTrain reached a speed of
140.6 MPH between Montreal and Toronto. This is still the Canadian speed record.
This year, Rapido Trains Inc. finally brings you the first ever accurate model
of the TurboTrain - North America's fastest train. Now you can relive your memories
of seeing this train roar past. Both engines are sound-equipped, so your TurboTrain
will roar at the front and the rear just like the real thing.
