You mean the elegant tusks? those were just sub machine guns compared to the cannon in the top.
A new approach to railways - passenger, meet your destination

What drew my attention was the brutal one directional approach, forcing the air up, then bending off, with straight sides.
A bullet nose, though harder to construct from sheet metal, would have been very much more aerodynamical, or so it seems - for the front end.
It goes both ways though; the sides are just tapered in slightly, ideal for when it is moving in the other direction?
