Google returned very little information about the Train Of Tomorrow, and nothing with the dates and locations of its initial tour throughout the Country.

I believe the Aerotrains were all circa mid-1950's.

There is this site (http://www.thewhistlestop.com/catalog/gmtot.htm) that shows some history.

Here it is as a UP train.
