Feature: The World's First Railplane System from the 1920s (with Video)

Built by George Bennie in the 1920s, this futuristic-looking railplane system was propeller-driven and designed to make daily trips to and from Glasgow / Edinburgh. It had a cruising speed of 120mph. Unfortunately, the project was canceled due to World War II. Video after the break. Click here for more pictures.
