#railroad
Today I rode the magnificent Flåm railroad in Norway. My only critique is that it was too short! Such a beautiful journey.

Train of Tomorrow
In April 1948, the future of railroad travel pulled into Minnesota. As part of a nationwide tour, General Motors’ Train of Tomorrow arrived in the Twin Cities carrying 125 local media and railroad dignitaries who had boarded the train in Albert Lea. The train was on display at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds from April 22 to 26. Mayors of both Minneapolis and St. Paul proclaimed April 22 as “Train of Tomorrow Day” and thousands of local residents toured the train during its four-day stop.
What visitors saw in their tour was a dream of elegant train travel to come. After four years of war, General Motors concluded that travelers would be ready to journey in luxury. Air conditioning, florescent lighting, nylon upholstery, and a phone that could call home from the train were just a few of the amenities. Above all this, the Train of Tomorrow offered unparalleled views, thanks to its “astra domes” – side and ceiling windows and seating raised above the sides of the train cars.

Glanton Collection, courtesy the children of John Glanton (GLAN0497,GLAN0107), and Mayor Hubert Humphrey receiving the key to the Train of Tomorrow (P27181) from the Minneapolis Newspaper Photograph Collection.

J.C. Clegg called it the “J & J Grocery” when he had the place way back when. Today the abandoned store near New Potter, Arkansas, is just used as a popular photo-spot by tourists, and by local photographers shooting prom and wedding pictures. A local tells us that he moved there in 1980, and it was already long-abandoned even back then. It sits right along the railroad tracks, which would have made it handy for doing business when it was still open.
