New Train Hits Speed Of 102.8 MPH -- A new experimental train that hit a speed of 102.8 miles per hour on the New Haven & Hartford railroad slows down entering the South Station after a demonstration run here today. The train consisted of a diesel electric locomotive and six articulated units. Its features are a low center of Gravity--it's two feet lower than an ordinary train, light weight, 75 per cent lighter then a regular train, and guided axles which permit it to take curves at high speed. Patrick B. McGinnis, new President of the road said the new train may be the answer to his promise of 2½ hour service between New York and Boston in the near future. June 29, 1954.
