TURBINE POWER

As representatives for ANF-Industrie, Voith, and Turbomeca Allied International pioneered the market for French made High Speed Rail equipment in the United States when we sold the ANF gas turbine powerd RTG to Amtrak. Owing to the abandonment of the rail market by the US licensee, Rohr Industries , only 11  Turboliner trainsets were ever delivered. There are currently two or three refurbished trainsets in storage in the USA. The Allied team which includes Jerome Pier who was in charge of the Rohr RTL production at Rohr and Bernard Watier who was in charge of ground turbines at Turbomeca are prepared to assist any railroads interested in utilizing this equipment.
