the General Motors train of tomorrow

A photo taken in 1947 at Lake Orion, Michigan.

Details?  Well, we believe in reference books, and a good one in this case for that kind of quick look-up is the recent pictorial book by Brian Solomon, Vintage Diesel Power.

  2. yep, not GM's most recent locomotive (the E7 was introduced in 1945) so the "future" must have meant the dome passenger cars it is hauling.
