Jet train


In 1966 Don Wetzel attached two GE jet engines to the top of a commuter car and reached 183 mph on a straight section of Ohio railroad track.  Don was an engineer for New York Central.  He set a world record for a self-propelled train and was recognized by Guinness World Records.  The record stands to this day.
