Is it the same Raymond Loewy known for the Pennsylvania Railroad GG-1 electric locomotives?

Raygun Gothic refers to any creative work from 1900 through about 1959, predicting the future before it became possible. Think rockets and rayguns, flying cars and futuristic cities - especially if the vision never quite panned out in reality. We find this aesthetic in product design, book covers, films, radio & TV. “A tomorrow that never was”. The same style as in the Fallout games, The Jetsons and so on but focused on the time period through the 50s.
