Minnesota Centennial Train A former 6-axle railroad baggage car converted to an exhibit car. The interior featured a raised floor to look down on a model stadium, atomic power plant and rocket airport. According to a Kimball Hostorical Society article in the Tri-County News, "Stepping into the final Car of the Future will be an experience akin to a trip to outer space ... The floor in this car is raised to create an illusion of 'looking down at the world through clouds.' In view will be an enclosed stadium, a city of tomorrow including moving side-walks and freeway systems ... a cut away of an underground atomic power plant, and rocket airports and space stations."
