Yeah, the two power units had seating up above the turbine, behind the driver's area, for a lounge!

I can't believe we took such a huge step backward after the Turbo was withdrawn. Montreal-Toronto in under 4 hours. I'm a child of the LRC era, and it broke my heart when those engines got pulled from service. I have an HO scale LRC on order from Rapido to fill that void in my heart... (they make a Turbo, too).

I highly recommend Jason Shron's TurboTrain: A Journey for a fantastic illustrated history of where we've been, and where we might hope to be again one day. It's a fantastic read.
