Powered Railcar Has Dome for Sightseers
Self-powered, a new railcar built for the French National Railroad by Renault has a glass and plastic dome in the middle that gives its passengers an unobstructed view of the countryside. The 58-ton car holds 88 passengers. It has an 800-horsepower diesel engine that operates a generator, providing power for motors.
