Seriously, this is almost cool but they should have to do it on actual tracks. Currently this is just a drag racer with a train shaped shell on top.

Obviously it would be nearly logistically impossible to get a bunch of engines on parallel tracks right after one another but it would be cool as hell.

At first i was gonna say it wasn't possible because of the incredible weight of the diesel motor and electric generator, but MAYBE, if you just ripped out all that shit and put in a huge electric motor, monster rubber tires, and a plexiglass funny-car cab on top it could actually work in the real world. I want to see it now.

Oh and as thanks for reading my dumb ramble here's a fact you might not have known. The "hood" area of the engines, where the headlights are? That's the shitter

The engine would obviously have to be in the back for this to happen too

Now if I was a car I'd be a racing car

And if I was a plane I'd be a jet plane

And if I was a truck I'd be a monster truck

But if I was a train I'd be a... monster train?

Needs to be flashier

At least one of them should be painted up to look like a hearse and named Rail Splitter
