The M-10000

M-10000 was a fully articulated three car trainset which during it's tours underwent many tests and attracted masses of people. The name "Streamliner" became a byword for American passenger trains. With the acceptance of this concept by the riding public the Union Pacific put it's plans of a system wide service into high gear.

One was the long standing speed record between Dix and Potter (9 miles) in 4 minutes 30 seconds or 120 MPH.
