Streamlining was associated with prosperity and an exciting future. Many engineers tried to incorporate aerodynamics into the shape of cars in the 1920s,
on its way to Milwaukee and Chicago. Industrial designer Brooks Stevens designed the train, including the signature Skytop Lounge.
Ed McDonough examines the developmental history of Daimler-Benz’s use of streamlining and aerodynamics in racing.

Read about many of the most well known streamliners here and why the period of the 1930s to 1960s is often considered the "Silver Age" of rail travel.
The "Streamliners At Spencer" event was held in May-June, 2014 at the North Carolina Transportation Museum showcasing 26 historic, streamlined locomotives.
Railroads in the 1930s saw a huge push to get passengers back to the rails through the introduction of the streamliner in 1934 on the UP and Burlington.
Inspired by VW’s ARVW concept, we look at the cars with tiny drag coefficients.
