Fast Polish “Torpedo Car” Powered by Diesel Engine
Poland’s “torpedo train,” a streamline rail car that travels ninety-three miles an hour, bears the reputation of being one of Europe’s speediest trains. It is driven by a Diesel motor with automatic clutch, operating on an extremely economical basis. The car, one of several in service on Polish railroads, carries eighty-six passengers. The engineer’s cab is set back from the low, protruding radiator.
A very very very early diesel TGV! Looks wonderful! It must have provided an awesome view for the engineer!
