The Pennsy Aerotrain
Title:  The Pennsy Aerotrain
Description:  How are 1958 Corvettes, GM Motorama dream cars & the Pennys Aerotrain related? All were designed by Chuck Jordan who eventually became VP of General Motors Design. Unfortunately, the Aerotrain was not successful - lightweight but underpowered, sleek looking but hard riding - ultimately rejected by most of the railroads. With the help from William Rodkey's comments (below), this was taken in Philadelphia during the year long test by the PRR. Date is approximate. The syle still looks great to me
