The Turbotrain was any of several French high-speed, gas turbine trains. The earliest Turbotrain entered service in 1967, for use on France's SNCF intercity lines. There were several versions, four in total, with the last exiting service in 2005, and it is the Turbotrain that made advances possible for the TGV.
