Just A Car Guy: the Bratislav Bullet, the Slovakian Speedtrain, is getting restored for Bratislava to Prague runs
Quote:
Designed and built in 1936, and decommed in 1952.
Designers made this train that could go at speeds of up to 92 mph in the late 1930s. You know, that's not much, is it? But in the last century trains reached an average speed of 42 mph

It's funny that the architecture looks less dated than the clothes, but I suppose fashion changes faster than buildings. The streamlining is dated — the stagnation point is too high. I guess there's enough weight to keep it on the tracks.
One obvious error is that it isn't a train. It's a railcar.
