Turbotrain
French high-speed, gas turbine trains / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the French Turbotrain. For the UAC Turbo used in Canada and the United States, see UAC TurboTrain. For the ANF and Rohr Turbotrains used in the United States, see Turboliner.
The Turbotrain was any of several French high-speed, gas turbine trains. The earliest Turbotrain entered service in 1967, for use on France's SNCF intercity lines. There were four versions in total, with the last exiting service in 2005, and it is the Turbotrain that made advances possible for the TGV.
