John Quincy Adams (train) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Quincy Adams (train)
The ''John Quincy Adams'' was a named train of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, between New York, New York and Boston, Massachusetts. The ''John Quincy Adams'' was an attempt by the New Haven to modernize rail travel and lure people out of their cars. The train was built by American Car and Foundry to a lightweight Talgo design, and was powered by two Fairbanks-Morse P-12-42 Diesel-electric locomotives, ''(One at each end of the train)'' connected by multiple unit control, through the train. The train consisted of five sections, each made up of three short cars articulated together. The center car of each section had two axles (one at each end), with the remaining cars having a single axle each, being supported by adjacent cars at the end opposite the axle. The ride was rough, as with most of the other lightweight trains of the period, and the train was not a success. The train was sold in 1962 for service in Spain. The locomotives remained unused after that sale of the train, and were scrapped in 1971.〔http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http://www.geocities.com/penney_vanderbilt/Trains/Alpert.html&date=2009-10-26+00:25:04〕 == See also ==
