The Jumping Goose: an unusual train created in the 1930s (4 photos + 1 video)
During the Great Depression, when the United States economy was on the verge of collapse, people had to show incredible ingenuity to survive and maintain at least some infrastructure. One example of ingenuity and resourcefulness were railroad trains assembled on the basis of cars. 
During the Great Depression, Colorado could not afford full-fledged trains, so they decided to assemble them on the basis of Buick Master Six and Pierce-Arrow sedans, and they were nicknamed "Jumping Geese" because of the characteristic sound of the horn and the swaying on the rails.
Six of the seven copies have survived to this day: now they are in railway museums and sometimes even go out for rides for visitors.
