Description
Another Atlantic at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. This one gained fame by racing an airplane from Washington DC to New York City in 1927. The race involved two news companies that wanted to get their footage into theaters first, to cover the return of Charles Lindbergh from his Trans-Atlantic flight. Despite losing to the plane, the train had a processing lab on board one of the cars, which allowed the footage to be displayed first.
