Prototype History: The Schienenzeppelin 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 propeller located at the rear: Powered by a BMW V1 12-cylinder engine, with only 600 hp, it accelerated the railcar to 230.2 km/h (143 mph) setting the land speed record for a petrol powered rail vehicle.
It seated 40 passengers.
Only a single example was ever built, which due to safety concerns remained out of service and was finally dismantled in 1939.
