The
1974
Preamble Express
In preparation
for the Bicentennial journey of the American Freedom Train,
the four-car Preamble Express was dispatched to scout the route
and court host city officials.
For five months
in the summer and fall of 1974
the Preamble Express made calls in all 48 contiguous states. Dozens
of display sites were evaluated and hundreds of local officials
and law enforcement were informed of the requirements to host America's
largest Bicentennial event.
In December
1974, President Ford inaugurated the American Freedom Train from
the rear platform of the Preamble Express.
