The amazing Bennie Railplane (1929)
Loading...
Uploaded by NLofScotland on Dec 20, 2007
Scenes from the film GEORGE BENNIE RAILPLANE SYSTEM OF TRANSPORT (1929-1930). This is a technical record of the construction of the railplane, invented by George Bennie. The railplane glides into the 'station' with the propellor on the front whirling. It looks like a small aeroplane without the cockpit windows. The railplane hangs below its own line, above a steam train on the tracks below.
The clip is from The Scottish Screen Archive collection. For more information about this film including details of how to obtain a copy please follow this link

@staran2 MagLev trains are much faster and much... better. And they are actually used today.

@staran2 Other than the fact that it was slow, dangerous, and uncomfortable.

Fantastic! It surprises me that there isn't a movement to rebuild this yet.
