In the 1950s railroads were looking for a new technology in passenger train design that would help them regain traffic lost to highways and airlines, and many experiments were conducted into lightweight, high-speed trains of radically new designs. NYC, the nations number one carrier of passengers, was at the forefront of this innovation. This book details the story of its attempts at a new passenger train. Profiled also are other experimentals of the era including C&Os Train-X, the Aerotrain, the Talgo, PRRs Tubular Train (The Keystone), as well as the NYCs X-Plorer.
