Talgo Streamliner On View At Chicago Fair
A Talgo streamliner from the American Car and Foundry Company will be on display at the Chicago Railroad Fair. The low profile train sits two feet lower than standard diesels, with four feet lower coaches, yet offers full interior space. The design features all aluminum construction reducing weight by 75 percent and uses a novel two-wheel rear support with forward unit bearing the front. Additional equipment is in a separate unit for easier access. The Talgo model is part of a trio built for service from Wilmington Delaware with other units slated for route between Madrid and the French border.
