7/7/2008 2:38:41 PM

Tourist Train Rides Although this looks like a live steam 2-8-2 locomotive pulling two passenger cars around the grounds of the museum, it is not.

Rock Island Aerotrain

7/7/2008 2:11:30 PM

Rock Island Aerotrain Trying to reduce the decline in passenger traffic in 1955, the railroads turned to General Motors (EMD) to develop a faster, more economical train that was also fashionable in appearance. EMD used existing automotive technology from its divisions to develop the Aerotrain. But because of it�s poorly designed locomotive and it�s rough ride it was disliked by both the railroads and passengers. The three prototypes were eventually given to the Rock Island Line for use in commuter service around Chicago.
