Strange Locomotives - The Schienenzeppelin Propeller Train or Rail Zeppelin #fyp

The Schienenzeppelin (German: [ˈʃiːnənˌtsɛpəliːn]) or rail zeppelin was an experimental railcar which resembled a Zeppelin airship in appearance.

It was designed and developed by the German aircraft engineer Franz Kruckenberg in 1929. Propulsion was by means of a pusher propeller located at the rear: it accelerated the railcar to 230.2 km/h (143 mph) setting the land speed record for a petrol powered rail vehicle.

Only a single example was ever built, which due to safety concerns remained out of service and was finally dismantled in 1939.
