Small Propeller Train Cars in Japan
This image comes from Japan in 1936, and it depicts a train going incredibly fast. In the image, you can see that it’s powered by a propeller, similar to an airplane. This prediction is actually pretty accurate, because the first Bullet Train came to Japan in 1964. The rest of the world hasn’t caught up with Japan yet, and our trains are incredibly slow compared to the Bullet Train. Clearly, this was a thought in the zeitgeist of Japanese culture for a long time. And they made it a priority when it came to new inventions.
