The photographer caught GM's Train of Tomorrow departing the station heading to its next promotional stop. It is mid-1949 and the train's 2-year U.S. tour is almost over. After a few months in Chicago and at the Chicago Railroad Fair, the ToT will spend 2 months in Canada then return to Detroit where the cars will be sold into railroad service. The E7 will return to the UP and be re-painted in UP yellow.
