Yesterday's Train of the Future
With passenger traffic declining in the mid-1950s due to the rapid expansion of the Interstate Highway system, railroads were looking for ways to attract more ridership. Many, including the Pennsy, NYC, UP and others hoped the AeroTrain would do just that. Sets include the engine, two coaches and an observation car. Add-on three-coach sets (sold separately) allow you to re-create the original 10-car consist by combining the four-car introductory set with two add-on three-car sets.
