United Aircraft Turboliner Notes: The original demonstration project in the US had 2 - three car sets. (That's two power cars and one intermediate.) CN purchased 5 - seven car sets. Therefore a total of 7 sets were built. The US sets were subsequently expanded to 5 cars each. CN rearranged their equipment into 3 - nine car sets. (Two power cars and seven intermediates.) They were going to sell a remaining pair of power cars and four? intermediates to Amtrak to give them a total of three sets, but on a test run the train sideswiped a freight train near Montreal, and half the TurboTrain was written off in the ensuing fire. CN and later VIA Rail suffered exhaust stack fires in two of the power cars, that forced them to be scrapped. They were replaced by the spare cars from the original order which were not being used. At the time the TurboTrains were scrapped, the bugs had been worked out of them and they were quite reliable. Fuel and maintenance cost drove the decision to retire them, along with the introduction of the LRC trains. - Per James Robinson
