"The train is powered by a GM electromotive diesel locomotive, the cars (daycoach, diner, sleeper and observation lounge) are of an entirely new design that permits an astradome atop each car for unrivaled view of landscape, and a depressed car floor beneath, resulting in four floor-levels in every car." Signature on picture.
