 The
Bennie Railplane
The railplane was invented by George Bennie ( 1891–1957 ). This was designed to move along an overhead rail by means of propellers. It was intended to run above conventional railways and separate fast passenger traffic from slow freight traffic. A prototype and 130 metre stretch of line was constructed outside Milngavie in the 1930s but Bennie was not able to obtain funds for further development. The line was demolished in the 1950s. |
