High Speed Rail Canada has obtained 6 minutes of silent 1968 footage of the Turbo train with excellent interior and exterior footage of the train..
Paul Langan, Founder of High Speed Rail Canada states," Anytime we find footage of the Turbo Train we are excited. Even though this footage is silent, has watermarks and time stamps on it, the footage is spectacular. Almost 40 years later and Canada’s present VIA RAIL trains can’t match the speed record set by the Turbo. We are excited to have the largest collection of audio and video recordings of the Turbo train in Canada available to the public.”
