Marty Bernard	General	Tim, thanks for the Editor's Choice on this one.	2/20/2007 8:09:13 AM

Gregg Bartley	General	I'm sorry, but this reminds me of a 1954 Chevy, for some reason.	2/20/2007 1:45:11 PM

Zach Pumphery	General	GM's auto and locomotive design people both worked on this thing about that time, so maybe that's why.	2/20/2007 11:47:50 PM

Marty Bernard	General	It looks like an Edsel on hemroides to me. Zach, they were working on it a decade earlier and this failure is the result. See: http://www.carofthecentury.com/the_aerotrain.htm	2/21/2007 8:03:32 AM

David Cenci	General	Nice..and btw..I see 4 trains in this pic.	5/17/2007 2:07:38 PM

Andre Wehrle	General	Nice, hard to think of this as ever having existed outside NRM at GB!	12/12/2008 4:45:32 AM

Stu Slaymaker	General	Fabulous shot. I rode it once, but by the time I got a decent camera, it was out of service.	4/6/2011 1:29:55 AM

Mike Maskel	General	looks like a space ship	4/8/2011 5:42:10 PM

L Beckman	General	For the record, the bridge in the far background is the Englewood line of the CTA "L".	2/1/2012 10:05:40 PM

Dale Schmeisser	General	Great Pic. When I rode it after it went into commuter service I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Later I learned why the design was never successful, which explained why as an 11 year old I was bouncing all over the seat when it was at high speed.	1/31/2015 3:19:06 PM

An EMD intercity failure ends its days at age 10 downgraded to commuter service, not a good application of a train with few and narrow doors. There are actually three additional RI trains in the distance in this picture.
