Back when the Rohr Turboliners were mostly unrebuilt, they operated over the entire Empire Corridor (ex-New York Central Water Level Route), and I rode them a few times before they were first withdrawn, then rebuilt and reintroduced on a dedicated NYP-Albany-Rensselaer service. If you're a New York railfan, you know the story. If you're wondering how I got into the shop, it was an organized tour. These things always require a lot of permissions and paperwork, of course, and I haven't been able to get back there since.
