Bullet-shaped locomotives will whip 108 passenger trains daily over twelve miles of bridges, through 40 miles of tunnel and around gentle curves at speeds averaging 105 m.p.h. This is considered too fast for human engineers; computers will control the trains most of the way, with speeds and slowdowns for stops programmed on tape.

...opening series of plays, Wood and halfback Lampkins took turns barreling through a faltering Crimson line. In 5 minutes and 9 plays, The Big Red had marched 49 yds. to go ahead 6 to 0. Lampkins carried for the first score, and he caught Wood's bullet for a touchdown in the second quarter. He closed out the game with a rushing total of 80 yds, twice as much as any of Harvard's backs...
