Feb 21, 5:00PM

This 1960s Jet Train Is Still America's Fastest Locomotive
Feb 21, 4:40PM
In the mid-1960's, New York Central Railroad engineer Don Wetzel was exploring ways to make trains run safer, cheaper, but most importantly: faster. And, clearly, the most logical means of accomplishing all three of these objectives was to strap a pair of Air Force surplus jet engines to the roof of a prototype high-speed locomotive, creating the world's fastest self-propelled train.

Feb 21, 3:20PM
The world is vast and travel budgets finite, so looking for deforestation as it's happening all over the world is nigh impossible.
