Pretty much! That and and a crash in the stock market would logically point to the collapse of the industry. Think of how by the 1980s cruise ships were dedicated for seniors, whereas they were advertised as for young lovers in the 1950s/ 1960s....

I guess much like in our OTL, people found the airlines to be much better.
Pretty much! Consider cruise lines are also considerably slower. Consider that a cruise liner will go at top speed at 35 miles per hour. A 747, 621 miles per hour. As such, while an aercruise ship is romantic or luxurious, it is close to 20× slower. Even trains are 4× faster..

Do you think you could add these to this thread for 1984's Red Dawn? https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...nd-the-aftermath.537398/page-44#post-25366302
You know what Retroburger1984, I might just do that soon since both of the videos I added both here and on the 1983; Doomsday photos thread also fit with Red Dawn.
Thanks for providing me with a link to that thread my friend.
Your welcome. By the way, you should check out my posts on this thread too. https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/photos-from-the-man-in-the-high-castle.463052/

Alright, because I would love some help in contributing to what happens after Season 4 that show.
I've heard of both The Man in the High Castle book and TV series, but I haven't seen the show, let alone read the book. I probably won't be able to help you out over there on that thread much.
That's ok, you could still at least comment on my posts, and if you have Amazon Prime Video, you can watch the show.
Alright then.
However, I should note that I don't have Amazon Prime Video. My mother got rid of it a while back since we never watched anything on it.
You can watch them for free on Amazon.com, do you have that?

A colored photo of an Amtrak Fusion Powered F40PH leading the Illinois Zephyr out of Chicago, passing Amtrak’s locomotive facility just south of Union Station, which in 2075 around the time the photo was taken, features a hodgepodge of motive power, including Amtrak F45s and E-units, a P30CH and some Conrail EMDs and Alcos.
Oh look, the Sears Towers was still built. That's nice!

Much as I like trains, I feel that these are much too modern and don’t mesh with the retro-futuristic themes of the Fallout world. I’d suggest using trains like the UAC Turbotrain or the General Motors Aerotrain, or the early EMC E1s.

I can see the UAC Turbotrains, General Motors Aerotrains being around before the war, but the early EMC E1s are from the 1930s and don't much up with the 50s/60s retro-futuristic theme. That's why i believe the F40PHs, GE P30CHs and F45s would be perfect pre-war locomotives, as they have a retro-futuristic look to them.
Promotional image for the American Atomic, a nuclear powered train operated on many passenger routes across the United States. With an immense size rivaling its less streamlined industrial cousins, the Double A would channel the output of its General Atomics reactors into specially designed engines engineered to challenge the speed and comfort of air travel
With its domination of the american car market, the Chryslus corporation enjoyed exceptional freedom to experiment with designs and an ability to target niche markets. Billed as a long range sports car equally at home in the city as it was on the open highway, the Olympian was powered by a compact nuclear reactor whice could be easily swapped out for refueling on long trips. In addition, it also proudly boasted "advanced concepts as a travel programming computer, variable density glass, jaluosie windows, and finger tip steering" among its many selling points.
(The American Atomic is based off what I believe is a General Electrics advert I found here, while the Olympian is based off the Ford Seattle-ite XXI)
