A study in gray. GREAT photo, even if this was like taking a bumpy bus ride for the passengers. I wonder what those headlights looked like in the distance?

Did Harley Earl have any influence on the designers with the Aero Train?
Regardless...awesome. Simply awesome.

Hard to believe now, but this photo provides more proof that these things REALLY DID EXIST. Those spotlessly clean cab windows give evidence that somebody STILL CARED about how they did their job.

Almost looks like a cardboard cutout for a new movie. I love it!

I like all of the design elements that appear to have come from an auto: the grille with headlights, roof line over the cab, the placement of windshield wipers. I would love to know more about who designed this locomotive and what ties they may have had to GM's automotive design staff.

Fun look.
