How ’s 230mpg while driving at 55 mph ? Yes , that ’s short of the 330mpg first promised last year , but that ’s a real world number demonstrate as the company roll out the first work epitome of this diesel - galvanizing railcar in March .

It looks way - coolheaded , too . We especially like the view from the rear of this railway car — it looks like a aviate dish antenna , and the view from the side ? Why , it ’s a banana tree on wheel , and we mean that in the dainty way .
