Car Transport Wagon |
Description: |
In Switzerland there are several locations with long tunnels that have trains transporting cars through the tunnel. Drivers stay in their vehicle during the trip. Here is a sample one on display at the Swiss Transport Museum. The first car is Pontiac Firebird, not a car you would expect to find in Europe! It had New Jersey plates too! |
