Glede na to, da so reaktivna motorja predelali tako, da sta delovala na dizelsko gorivo, lahko govorimo o najhitrejšem DMU (Diesel Multiple Unit) na svetu, ki je na trenutke dosegel hitrost 315 km/h.On a clear day in July 1966, New York Central Railroad engineer Don Wetzel and his team boarded a specially modified Buddliner railcar, No. M-497. Bolted to the roof above them were two GE J47-19 jet engines. Wetzel throttled up the engines and tore down a length of track from Butler, IN, to Stryker, Ohio, at almost 184 mph, piloting the experimental vehicle into the record books as the world’s fastest jet-powered train. Today, the M-497 is still America’s fastest train and the world’s speediest self-propelled locomotive.
