The Nuclear-Powered Bullet Train From The 1970'S Series Supertrain !
A nuclear-powered bullet train that was equipped with amenities more appropriate to a cruise ship, it had luxuries such as swimming pools and shopping centers.
Supertrain was an American television drama/adventure series that ran on NBC from February 7 to May 5, 1979. Nine episodes were made. Most of the cast of a given episode were guest stars. The production was elaborate, with huge sets and a high-tech model train for outside shots.
On February 7th, 1979, thousands of Americans were introduced to the Supertrain, which ran from New York to Los Angeles. Nuclear-powered, the super-wide-bodied train topped out at 190 miles per hour and boasted on-board luxuries like a swimming pool, a discotheque, a shopping center and a movie theater. It even had a dedicated on-board Social Director.
But it only made nine voyages over three months before network executives pulled the plug. The Supertrain wasnt a real vehicle at all, but a fictional NBC television show, the most expensive ever produced at the time. It was also a massive flop that made TV Guides 50 Worst TV Shows of All Time list, as a sort of Love Boat rip-offjust on railsthat no one wanted to watch. And on top of that, one of the insanely expensive models suffered a bad crash at an outdoor set.
