The Chris Precht train designs take an ordinary train design and turn it into an extraordinary one. We’ve all been on a subway system, but some subway systems are far worse than others. Chris Precht’s designs for a [futuristic train](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-train) are much more cozy than our modern forms of transportation.

The design plan won 2nd place in the Bombardier/YouRail competition. Chris Precht’s train designs have chairs that fit to different body types and they are made for everyone from train travelers to subway users.
