Conceived and built in 1930 by the German rail company Deutsche Reichsbahn, the Schienenzeppelin was a design alternative to the streamlined steam locomotives of its day. It was a slick and relatively lightweight at 20 tons, running on but two axles and powered by a 46Liter BMW V-12.
Originally good for 120 mph — on par with the fastest streamlined steam locomotives — the Schienenzeppelin topped out at a magnificent 140 mph in the summer of 1931. It was a record that stood for 23 years and was never surpassed by a gasoline-powered locomotive.

R.I.P. Elizabeth Taylor. You were a stunning beauty in your youth and that is how I will remember you. You were dead to me when you and Michael Jackson "Freak" were friends. That was just too weird for me.
