In 2002, Paul Langan the founder of High Speed Rail Canada, began his search for all audio and video materials of Canada’s famous Turbotrain. In 2009 he posted the TURBO movie in 3 parts on Youtube. Now for the first time the complete movie has been loaded for the public to view.
The film is a look at Canada’s fastest train. On April 22nd, 1976 the Turbotrain set the Canadian Railway Speed Record travelling 140mph/225km/hr while operating as a Passenger Extra 153 East between miles 104 and 84 on CN’s Kingston Subdivision.
The train was built by United Aircraft Corporation for CN Railway and ran in Canada from 1968 and 1982. The were built by Montreal Locomotive Works. The Turbo also ran in the USA.
Film Description from the 1971 CN Film Catalogue - CN’s turbine-powered train which covered the 336 miles (540km) from Montreal to Toronto in just four hours. The film follows the development of the Turbo - from its engineering, to its construction and interior design. Ride Turbo to the heat of downtown Montreal and Toronto and savour a gourmet dinner at your Turboclub seat. Everything about Turbo is new - from the dome lounges to the pant suited hostesses.
1970 - - Produced by Peterson Productions, Sponsored by Canadian National Railway. TURBO was awarded a bronze medal at the International Film and Television Festival of New York. Permission to use the TURBO film for educational purposes was granted to Paul Langan by CN in 2002.
