3-car passenger A & B-Train
This is an A-Train elevated track system with mixed A&B-Train freight
and 7-car passenger B-Train. Freight trains are remote automated and have
no operator.
The pendulum overhead railway is a uniquely integrated system for both passengers
and freight. It has two sizes or sets of passenger and freight cars: one
optimized for urban/light service and the other for intercity/heavy duty
traffic. The trains are part of an integrated transportation system, including
stations and freight facilities. It is elevated so that there is grade
separation from all roads to minimize accidents, collisions, and delays.
It can be routed along or over roads and buildings and it provides a superb
view for passengers.
In this conceptual design cars are suspended by pylons that fit into a slot
along the underside of a large tube carrying the train. Inside the tube
there is a rail on either side of the slot. A four-wheel truck runs on
the rails, holding up each pylon. The front car of passenger trains has
a removable cab attached to it.

This is a model featuring an integrated wing/engine configuration. A Willow
Design feasibility study on the multiple-engines-in-wing configuration has
been awarded a NASA grant.
