Gas turbine train tests planned on New Haven line
Congress backed 1965 high speed rail R&D. A three car gas turbine train will test this summer between Boston and Providence with 156 seats and a 38 minute target time for the run. It will reach up to 160 mph but will test at lower speeds first amid noise reductions and new suspension for comfort on curves. The project, funded with over $9 million for high speed electric and gas turbine programs, involves Pullman construction and cooperation with Pennsylvania Railroad and the Transportation Department.
