Wind-splitter train aims to cut air resistance on rail
Baltimore and Ohio tests a "wind-splitter" passenger train designed by Frederick A Adams to reduce air resistance. The six rebuilt coaches use closed gaps and front-end ventilation with floor outlets, promising higher speeds and better economy. Trials show power savings and speeds from 4.6 miles in 3 minutes 18 seconds to 18 miles in 16 minutes. Prominent investors in New York and Baltimore plan further runs this summer.
