Any "Train of Tomorrow" experts out there?

The "TOT" ran down the WS in December 1948. (I have a photo of it pasing "DU.") Can anyone provide the information as to where it was travelling from and to on that leg of its tour?

Thanks.

The Train of Tomorrow was on display at Framingham, Mass. on the Boston & Albany on November 1, 1948. I was four years old at the time and I saw it. It is probably my second or third train memory. It was on the NYO & W on its nationwide display tour and there is a photo of it heading through Middletown, NY in a southerly (or easterly) direction in the Krause/Crist FINAL YEARS of the NYO & W book.
