Re: QR diesel tilt train design released.

["Nobody" <dweebken@NOSPAM.yahoo.com>]

Tilt trains are designed to smoothen the ride on curves. While the train
tilts on a curve, the combination of speed and centrifuge keeps the person
"level". A person sleeping on a tilt train would be less likely to roll out
of a bunk than on a conventional train.
