How weird would it be to see a TRAIN passing a Top Fuel dragster!

Did you read the specs? It needs 7 miles to slow down and stop at the station!

They should PM Johnrob, I'm sure he could help them set the drag brake for better performance.

I didn't think a train on rails could go that fast. A Mag-Lev maybe but metal to metal... thats insane!!

I was able to hitch a ride from the south of france to paris when I was a junior in high school on vacation. They are hauling *** but it is by far one of the smoothest quietest rides you will ever take. We topped out at about 111mph which was still hauling, now knowing that was under 1/2 throttle is amazing. Just think if you could reduce "wind drag" on that how damn fast it would really be going
