A conductor makes his rounds taking tickets as the Turboliner makes its way between St. Louis, Missouri, and Chicago, Illinois. Two Turboliners were leased from the French and began service in October 1973. After eight months of trial, Amtrak officials purchased them and ordered an additional eleven. It is part of the corporation's continuing effort to upgrade equipment inherited from the nation's railroads.
