Futuristic Transportion Visions
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, July 31, 2004 1:31 PM
Here's a link to a lot of futuristic transportation visions that never made it off (or far off) of the drawing board:

There's a drawing of what appears like the CB&Q Pioneer Zephyr which many of us might think was too successful to be included here. There's a lot to look at, though, if you have the time.

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

That was very interesting.

Who knows,maybe we will see some of this in our lifetime.[:)]

I remember seeing some of those articles in the magazines while,
I was growing up,and thinking;wouldn't that be great.[:)]

Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
