The M-497 Experimental Jet Train
Pretty neat stuff. The first video is a short interview with Don Wetzel and a few video clips of his run. He ran the train up to 196 MPH and the way he talks it had more in it.

On a clear July day in 1966, New York Central Railroad engineer Don Wetzel and his team boarded a specially modified Buddliner railcar. Bolted to the roof above them were two GE J47-19 jet engines. Wetzel throttled the engines up and tore down a length of track from Butler, Indiana, to Stryker, Ohio, at almost 184 mph, piloting the experimental vehicle into the record books as the world's fastest jet-powered train. Today, the M-497 is still America's fastest train. Our video team recently caught up with Wetzel at his home. Take a look at his story on GE Reports: http://goo.gl/uQICJx
This video is 16mm film of the actual run. No sound:

The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
