Too bad there's no sound. But definitely some great shots inside and out! Don't know why, but I think the CN Turbo is the best dang looking train Canada ever had. Complex simplicity with it's red and white styling, and a home style mobility in the interior. Technically Canadian, and typically unique! VIA, Amtrak, UA versions never looked right to me. CN's will forever be gorgeous IMHO.

Somewhere in these films it is stated that the train had welded aluminium bodies, but we still see rivets on the roof. Also - is any vehicle of this program preserved somewhere or were they all scrapped?

they were all scrapped.
