It's a car that makes Art.
Like Ant Farm's Media Van. The reason I posted it in aerodynamics is that I'm so used to low-polygon computer graphics, I can look at that profile and mentally overlay The Template. Where the fit breaks down is in the quite reasonable recesses on the sides of the boattailed truck cab, and maybe the windshield header is a little high. But since it's an Observation Probe the high windshield is rational. Imagine it with pizza pans and coroplast.
We are talking about a passenger service discontinued due to.. predatory capalist corporations that have moved on and are now consuming Greece? Thanks for the O-bahn link.
Google says this image is here, but it's been removed. I hereby declare the whole thread,
Vehicles on rails is on topic.
And... I hadn't thought of it, but my [current] profile picture is a train called the TALGO, which used cars that only had an axle at one end. The contemprary TALGO provided the rolling stock for Amtrak's Starlight Express.
UltArc -- We're crossposting, so I haven't had time to respond.
Edit: Maybe more like this FIAT railcar?
Or the Herkimer Battle Jitney?
