⚡🚄 In the 1970s, British Rail dared to dream of the future with the APT-E (Advanced Passenger Train – Experimental). Built in 1972, it was a bold prototype powered by gas turbines and packed with cutting-edge tilting technology — designed to make trains faster and smoother on Britain’s curving tracks. Although short-lived, the APT-E paved the way for modern high-speed trains like the Pendolino. Today, the only surviving APT-E is preserved at the National Railway Museum in York, a reminder of Br

Many railroads experimented with non conventional turbine power, but on the Union Pacific three generations of gas-turbine locomotives survived in revenue service the longest. UP turbine 8/8B is seen in this clip from the Pentrex show "Union Pacific Turbines of the Wasatch" https://rfd.video/UPTurbines | Railfan Depot
