Mystry Train
For this mystry train and by the shape of.
I will have to go a GS-4 (Southern Pacific Daylight) with the shape of the front the diangle step and a rounded shape on the front.( i believe it was said by the Southern Pacific that we need to bring passengers back to our trainz.)
and no offence, but elephant ears would be shown as a square, around the step well.

I don't think it could be a Budd railcar, as they're already available and/or built in.
Santa Fe El Capitan
A complete set of Santa Fe's El Capitan with different locomotives and all cars. It would be something to drive.
What if it were possible to build it so that locomotives and cars would be more dirty the longer they run, and must be taken to a cleaning facility to get them clean.

"If railroad passenger services were to survive, operators realized they would need to change their thinking and find a more cost effective approach."
"Manufacturers of railroad equipment were also taking note of the changing age and sought to provide solutions for their valuable customers."
It's not steam. Pre 1950's electrics and diesels proved to be far more economical than steam.
Electric or diesel? I would say these are your choices and of these, wishful thinking makes me choose diesel.
Alco PA1, EMD E and F series would be my guess. As far as a road or specific train, I need more information, BUT from a marketing stand point I will guess "East Coast".

As much as I would like for it to be the hi-level El Cap, I think that Alek77 (and others) have gotten it right with GM's AeroTrain. The NYC claimed "This Train Will Save An Industry" (http://www.carofthecentury.com/the_aerotrain.htm).
Autotrain
"Automobiles were fast becoming an affordable option for the modern traveller, and flight was also steadily gaining in popularity. If railroad passenger services were to survive, operators realised they would need to change their thinking and find a more cost effective approach."
This certainly hints at the Autotrain to me. The dates fit, it's not steam and it "provides solutions to it's valuable customers".
The same idea of moving road transport by rail has saved the US industry with piggy-back being a life-saver for US road's freight revenues.
Not that I'd know, being a Kiwi !
