By 1994, the era of the streamliner was practically over. One preserve of the streamliner era was the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train in Renton, Washington. It had a nice mix of streamlined cars. The three domes on the train represented some of the best operations in the west - the Super Chief, the Olympian Hiawatha, and the City of Los Angeles.
On Saturday 1/10/2022, 7AD1 (Aurizon intermodal) is seen in Virginia (SA) with bulldog CLP14 trailing gwa001.
Don’t know why this service almost always has either a bland gwa/gwb/gwu leading, some “policies” are dumber than others I guess.
A very short streamliner, composed of SLRG 2402 and a dining car, languishes on the siding at West Barnstable. 2402 is looking somewhat the worse for wear in her fading Susquehanna paint. And I admit that I briefly considered packing a black rattle can to touch up that pilot.
This equipment has been sitting here long enough to get picked up by the Google Earth satellite. Twin sister SLRG 2400 has run, but seems to be restricted to trail-only status to provide HEP.
Not sure where/who this originated from (more than happy to discover), but this Citroen DS Streamliner popped up around five years ago on twitter and pintrest.
I had seen it a couple of times, thinking that it would make a great lego build at some point.
I don'y actually think its a real car, more a digital render, as there is no other information about the vehicle, and only this one single image view. It does look great though, and might actually work as a Streamliner Salt Flat racer, though it would need a significant step up in power over the standard 4-cylinder Citroen engines installed in the DS in its original form.
Having owned a car of similar mechanical configuration (front-mid-engine FWD), I might suggest the ubiquitous Chevrolet small-block pushrod V8. maybe a Porsche 911 transaxle for transmission and final drive placement.
Though slicing the roof of would improve frontal area, the drag Cd improvement over the already excellent DS shape would not be as significant as seen on some other Salt Flat cars.
Nonetheless, would do other people think?

Here is an interior view of an American railroad passenger car. It was originally a "streamlined" coach car for the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad. It entered service in 1946 for the "400" route from Chicago to Minneapolis (400 miles in 400 minutes). It is now part of the fleet of the Minnesota Transportation Museum and is used for train excursion rides.

The question is - will the GM Daewoo Craptiva still be around in 50-odd years?
