I have to go with the time machine theory myself. Seems to fit.
What else really could it be?
A spaceship launcher, a la the one on George Pal's "When Worlds
Collide" (1951)? See:

(The actress in the close-up is Barbara Rush, by the way.)
No OSTRs for _this_ ride. And I believe that in the shot of the
rocket at the top of the track that's not a terribly rendered sky in
the background; rather, it's the surface of another planet, getting
very close to Earth. The title of the movie is _not_ a metaphor.
