I know the UP GTEL's used Bunker C Fuel Oil as their fuel, but what did the Amtrak Turboliners use for fuel?

Are you counting the Untied Aircraft Turbotrains? Or are you just talking of Turboliners I, II and III?

Tne United Aircraft TurboTrain used #2 diesel. The RTG (French built)Turboliners used #2 diesel, but in extreme conditions ie below 0 degrees F. #1 was used. The RTL (Rohr built) also used #2. I am not familiar with the Super Steel rebuilds of the RTL's, but they used the same TuroMeca built prime movers.
