Trains, trains and more trains...

Let's start with a train consisting of just locomotives. 'Just' 35 locomotives...
Talk about perpetual motion when this baby gets going...!

The max. potential horsepower being moved here is about 105000 HP if I'm correct...

So let's get out of the way first...

How about a rocketpowered diesel-electric train, to crashtest some nuclear radioactive waste containers mounted on a truck trailer!
(How's that for an actionpacked power-sentence eh!)

Fastest train (?)
500 km/hr (310+ mph)

I could see the train engineer walking around Lee's Daytona at Bonneville say'in, "300mph is the goal huh? Did that in a train years ago."

Full steam ahead!

"Another" fastest train... quite faster at 574 km/hr (356+ mph)
