New Snow Cruiser photos and information found

It was built by the Pullman train car company, in Illinois
and in the below full size news article (click on it for full size) it says that it was abandoned in the antarctic due to it's being so heavy (37 tons and 55 feet long) that it immediately was stuck in and ice crevass. It's longest drive was from the factory near Chicago to the shipping docks in Boston... at 55 miles and hour

Looks like a land train, with local fire department paint and letters, and here's why... It's the 1939 Sno Cruiser!
