Perhaps that former Conrail observation car is a sign of bad times to come for AMTK 57. Thanks for sharing this...unique trainset.

Perhaps it was the other way around...?
There are few photo's in existance of this magnificent train which strikes me as odd considering how unusual they were, and the fact that to this day, they still hold the US and Canadian production passenger train speed records, beating out even the Acela by a few mph.
Be sure to view the few other pictures on this site - George Hamlin has some excellent photos as does Martin OToole.

I had forgotten about the blue conrail executive train. To see it sitting beside the vintage turbo train is most unusual. These are good subjects for a model railroad. Jet powered lightweight and the blue heavyweight.
