I mean I understand the purpose of the first set kind of...but why on the rest of the cars? That's just going to create wind resistance...unless that was the point.

2. Can you walk around on those when they're moving? |
|
Pretty slick looking train, in any case!

3. I would think if you can walk on an airplane |
|
while its in flight, you can walk on the train as well. I didn't see seatbelts though.. curious enough.

8. It appears to be some kind of aerobraking system. |
|
They aren't very large, but would still help in the braking through wind-resistance alone. Plus, they probably have to be small or they'd break off if deployed too early.

11. That would be one of the most terrifying rides I'd NEVER get on. |
|
My knees would be knocking like crazy & I'd be frozen with fear. I admire those who could do it, though.
