Kind of looks like an icebreaker on rails

I love the photo, but I have to say that the locomotive looks like some kind of critter with a big red nose.

On April 22, 1976, the Canadian UA Turbo achieved 140.55 mph (226 km/h) during a high speed run near Gananoque. Today, July 23, 2013, over 37 years later, the Canadian high speed rail record has yet to be topped, The US version topped out at 170.8 mph on December 20th, 1967 and currently holds the US high speed rail record for a production in service train.

Great shot! Thanks for sharing! A disgrace none were preserved though models are finally available from Rapido and MTH.

One of the nicest shots of the Turbo in original CN paint that I've seen. Thanks for sharing!
