Freight Train is a historic slingshot dragster. [1]

Designed by Nye Frank, it used twin supercharged engines and had an aluminum body. [1] When owned by John Peters, running in Top Gas (driven by Bob Muravez) at the 1971 Supernationals, it was painted black and powered by a pair of Chrysler hemis. [2]
