The weirdest trains and railway vehicles ever built. A railcar powered by jet engines, a train with a huge aircraft propeller, a bus that could turn into a rail vehicle, a monorail balancing on a single rail, and a massive machine with a rotating wheel designed to fight through deep snow — engineers actually built all of them.

In this video, we explore some of the strangest experiments in railway history and discover why they were created, how they worked, and why most of them never became the transportation of the future.

You’ll see the famous German Schienenzeppelin with its enormous aircraft propeller, the jet-powered M-497 Black Beetle, Switzerland’s Stoosbahn with rotating passenger cabins, and the unusual Schienen-Straßen-Omnibus — a bus capable of continuing its journey directly on railway tracks.

We’ll also explore the futuristic Bennie Railplane, Brennan’s gyroscopic monorail, the legendary Galloping Goose No. 7, the powerful rotary snowplow, and General Motors’ Aerotrain — a futuristic train that turned out to be far less comfortable than its designers had hoped.

Some of these machines set speed records. Others were designed to solve real railway problems. And some were so complicated and unusual that they remained engineering experiments forever.
