Rocky Mountain Rocket, streamlined passenger train.

USA for me.
When growing up and started to read i came across a mountain of the magazine Popular Mechanics from the 1950s. As a young boy i saw the pictures and read the articles about the 1950s USA. The magazines were filled with pictures of cars, trains, inventions and other fascinating things. It was not all about what whas typical then. The future of things was also there.
I still have the magazines and for some reason they have created the image of USA for me.
Symbolic picture?
The president elect Joe Biden is now taking on some major challenges. First of all, becoming the president as it seems president Donald Trump looks to prolong the process challanging Bidens victory. The there is Covid, economics, foreign politics, rasism and more issues.
Perhaps the image of the Rocky Mountain Rocket train on the railwaytracks is symbolic for the future of USA.
The track is the path the public has chosen to go and the train with it´s passengers is the people moving in the only direction, forward.
About the picture
