Here is what I could glean from the Smithsonian website on the
Smithsonian Institution exhibition on transportation in American History
Museum in Washington.    Anybody on receiving this who wants to make a
joint day of it ... not necessarily the day the exhibition opens on Nov.
19th?

America on the Move
Opening of Exhibition: November 19, 2003
1st floor, east
America on the Move takes visitors on a journey though the history of
the United States—a history shaped by transportation. The exhibition
uses multimedia technology and historical artifacts to create period
settings around times and places where transportation changed American
lives and landscapes. Visitors will be transported back in time and
immersed in the sights, sounds and sensations of transportation in the
U.S. from 1876 to the present. Among the 300 objects in the
26,000-square-foot show will be a 1950s Chicago Transit Authority mass
transit car, the 260-ton, 90-foot-long "1401" locomotive and a 1903
Winton, the first car driven across the United States.

Thanks Jim.....
