    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.

    Yes, one is now at the Museum of Transportation outside St. Louis that once beat commuters to death on the Rock.
