# Train Track Cars The Paracite Speeds to Your Destination on the Railway By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-06-30 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paracite References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/06/30/car-on-the-railway-tracks-picking-up-stones/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_details.asp?individual_id=274581) Now I can’t personally say I would take this risk, but the Paracite Personal Transport vehicle is the fastest way to driving convenience (no pun intended…maybe). The Paracite, designed by Matthias Pugin, is a [3-wheeled personal vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars) that rides somewhere in the 5 miles between [trains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cetrovo-10-carbon-star-rapid-rail) (standard space) on the actual tracks. I know it sounds a little freaky only because a train isn’t the lightest or slowest of vehicles, but under the circumstance that traffic control was manageable then this is a brilliant idea. The [sleek little one-seater](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yksi-electric-vehicle) is already a breath of fresh air as far as the image is concerned, but also a stress free way to work with that sometimes needed ounce of alone time.
