So far in these SIA Flashbacks, we've seen Cars that Swim, Cars that Fly,
and now another cross-pollination of cars and other modes of
transportation - Cars That Run On Rails. Now, if only there were a
history of Cars That Floated Like Hovercraft and Cars That Jet Into
Outer Space (and don't forget Cars That Intentionally Submerge), we'd
have all our bases covered. Anyway. Whereas today, we mostly see
full-size trucks and SUVs with railrider conversions, back in the
Twenties, railroad companies used cars for such conversions. The story
appeared in SIA #26, January-February 1975.
