- "Allegheny," "DeWitt Clinton," and "Sam Hill" Locomotives alongside New York Central Diesel Aerotrain, circa 1956 - Three historic locomotives from The Henry Ford -- the <em>DeWitt Clinton</em> (replica of the 1831 original), <em>Sam Hill</em> (1858) and Allegheny (1941) -- pose alongside the Aerotrain in 1956. Railroads hoped that the streamlined Aerotrain, designed by General Motors, might lure travelers back onto trains.
