Cover Photograph: Although cross. country freighters are hardly suited for everyday travel on public thorough. fares, this photo illustrates their almost uncanny ability to maneuver sharp corners. Each "trailer" furnishes its own locomotion through powerful electric motors tucked into each wheel thus giving this particular train a 32-wheel drive Rectangular shapes on the lead car are, from left: operator's cab with seats for seven people 3,500-gallon fuel tank, and two engines with generators to furnish power to the electrically-driven wheels. Manufacturer is R.G. Le Tourneau, Inc., of Longview Texas, where this photo was taken.
