Quote:
Don Wetzel, an engineer for the New York Central Railroad, was given the task in the mid-1960s of trying to make trains safer, less expensive and faster.
His solution: strap two jet engines to the roof of a locomotive and see what happens.
What happened was Wetzel created the first jet-powered train that even to this day is the fastest locomotive in America.
