According to the news of Dailystar, this project was called ‘Speedy Wagon-Laboratory’. With this project, the engineers wanted to set a new world record for high speed. By 1970 they had realized that by fitting two AI-25 engines similar to those used in the Yak-40 aeroplane, they could compete with the New York Central Railway’s M-497 project, codenamed ‘Black Beetle’.
The speed of 350 km / h was the target
America saw that due to his efforts, his train was running at a speed of 296 kmph. The Soviet Union said that if their tracks were enabled, their trains could run at a speed of 350 km per hour. Kalininsky Carriage Works started working on the design of this futuristic train in the 1960s. It was officially unveiled in October 1970 and was closed in 1975.

faster than bullet train yet failed
Although the train was slower than the Black Beetle, it was faster than the Shinkansen, Japan’s first bullet train. The train ran on some public sections of the Soviet Railways, reports the Eurasian Times, but it was eventually decided that the gasoline engines were too expensive to afford. However, the only known remnant of the project exists in the form of a wrecked wagon at the Petersburg Scrap Yard.
