A trackless train is a series of connected road vehicles, usually shaped like a Railway Train . They can also be called '''road trains''' or '''dotto trains'''. A trackless train usually consists of a Diesel Engine -powered Tractor unit that is made to look like a Steam Locomotive , and about three Trailers . The trailers are usually open-sided, but may be covered over with plastic in inclement weather. There are various sizes and designs available, and depending on the design, each trailer may seat between 6 and 20 persons. They have amusement value, particularly for Children , and they are often used for the Transport of Tourists instead of Buses especially in beach resorts. For example, the National Railway Museum runs a trackless train between its York museum and York Minster . In the Swiss town of Gruyères , a trackless train is the only vehicle allowed in the Pedestrianised streets. Hiring of trackless trains for special events is possible. EXTERNAL LINKS |
