Another diesel streamliner, brought out in the steam era before the streamline diesel concept was really worked out. This one was a 3-car double-ended trainset designed by the Goodyear Zeppelin company (an manufacturer of airships) in the early 1930s.
The New Haven Railway started service between Boston and New Haven in 50s1934, on a mile-per minute schedule. Partially due to its fixed layout, the train was scrapped in the early 1950s.
I'm not sure quite why, but I'm getting a Dalek vibe off that thing. Maybe I'll just ride there, instead.
