The Most DANGEROUS Trains Ever Built

In the late 1960s, a powerful locomotive known as the "Big Blow" tore across Wyoming, leaving a 30-foot exhaust plume in its wake. This video explores the engineering marvel and eventual scrapping of this 8,500 horsepower gas turbine engine, alongside other "mad genius" trains that pushed technological boundaries. Discover the fascinating locomotive history of an era when railroad innovation knew no bounds.
