[ Posted Sun, 01 Feb 2015 11:02:23 ]The Zeppelin Railway Coach (Schienenzeppelin, also known as the Lightning Express) is photographed by the New York Times in 1931. Later that year, on June 21, 1931, it set a new rail speed record of 230.2?km/h (143.0 mph) on the Berlin?Hamburg line between Karst?dt and Dergenthin, which was not surpassed by any other rail vehicle until 1954.?
The train could carry 40 passengers at 100 miles per hour (161 kph) in tests near Hanover, Germany. The caption notes, however, “its ability to take curves remains to be tested”. Safety and reliability concerns prevented it from being mass-produced as the project was dismantled in 1939.
