Prose du Transsibérien de Blaise Cendrars et l'Aérotrain, rêve en cendres de Patrice Delbourg

Deux rails de légende : le Transsibérien et l’Aérotrain.
Mais dans la musique de ces deux trains tinte un déraillement : déraillement de l’humain, de l’Histoire et d’une certaine idée du progrès.

Oh the way to Rock Island, where Future run Free

You know, I was actually wondering the same thing! I would be inclined to think so but then again you must remember that Talgo did not develop their tilting mechanism until 1980. Today however since technology has caught up with the Aerotrain's vision, I would say that GM's general idea to bring people back to the railroad would be quite successful today.

The ride quality was superior compared to the normal open window cars used at the time. I never rode it at speed. I got on at Englewood and off at Brainerd. The stations were close together at that time.

@boilerbob7 What was the ride quality like?

Saw the real thing on the Rock Island back when I was a kid in Tinley Park illinois

Materials for recycling! Junk them out, cut them apart & melt them down!

I remember riding it as a Rock Island commuter train on the Beverly branch.
I saw the other one in St. Louis, and also what is the name of this program?????

it's called "All Aboard!" It was produced locally in Green Bay in 1994, but I'm not sure where or if you could get it (perhaps at the National Railroad Museum gift shop?)
