TRAIN OF TOMORROW: Ann Arbor residents and persons attending the Michigan-Minnesota football game had a chance to view the General Motors Train of Tomorrow which transported some 200 members of the Associated Press managing editors conference here Saturday. The train, which is now making a national tour, was parked on the Ann Arbor Railroad siding east of the stadium during the game. Shown above is the rear car which, like each of the other three cars, is designed with an Astro Dome to give a better view of the landscape, and a depressed car floor which results in four floor-levels. The train incorporates the newest interior decoration and post-war features for the comfort and safety of train passengers.
