Due to Amtrak's dire need to modernize their fleet, and the success of their RTG Turboliners already in use in the mid west, Amtrak contracted ROHR Industries in Chulu Vista, California to construct seven new train sets They were among the first new equipment purchased by Amtrak to update its fleet with faster, more modern trains These trainsets expanded Turboliner service to the Chicago-Milwaukee and Chicago-Detroit corridors, both of which would also be rebranded Turboliner
