Union Pacific railroad used a turbine fleet of 55 locomatives during the 1950's & early 60's. had to be used in the "desert" as the exhaust noise was deafing, and played hell with overpasses

RE: Jet Train?
Woketman,
Wren provide a special FADEC ECU for the turboprop type engine. This is basically and additional ecu which monitors the power turbine statges and prevents overspeeding of the gearboxes etc. Unfortunately, I can't tell you more than that, maybe Gaspar's seen the thread and could give some more details.
Regards,
Tony
