Russian turbojet railcar


Built in the Soviet Union in 1970, the ER22 was able to reach a speed of 250 km/h (160 mph). It weighed 54.4 tonnes (including 7.4 tonnes of fuel) and was 28 metres (92 ft) long. The power car was planned to be used as a part of a "Russian troika" express.

It looks like something for the brave.  More pics on this webpage
