UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AUTO-ON-TRAIN PROJECT EQUIPMENT PREVIEW

The train will be designed to offer passenger train comfort, conveniences, and speed to the occupants of any of the common types of automobiles, including sedans, the various coupe models, and station wagons (except Volkswagen's 'Microbus'). Van and camper models in general cannot be accomodated on account of their height. In effect, the passenger brings his own seat aboard when he drives on and no other general seating is proposed. The situation is analogous to a drive-in theater.
