Sharopoyezd: The Lost Soviet Super-Train (They Actually Built It!)

Sharopoyezd was a groundbreaking Soviet project from the 1930s that envisioned a futuristic monorail capable of reaching speeds up to 300 km/h. Designed by engineer Nikolai Yarmolchuk, this experimental train used spherical wheels, electric motors, and U-shaped concrete tracks to eliminate friction and noise. This video uncovers the full history of the Sharopoyezd, from its bold beginnings to its mysterious shutdown. Learn how the USSR planned to revolutionize rail transport—and why it failed. Whether you're into abandoned Soviet technology, transportation history, or futuristic inventions that never made it, this is a deep dive into one of the most ambitious and obscure engineering projects in history. 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more videos on forgotten technologies and historical innovations. 00:00 - Intro Retro Transport 00:05 - Sharopoyezd History 02:20 - Outro Retro Transport #RetroTransport #Sharopoyezd #SovietTrain #Train #USSR #Monorail #HighSpeedTrain #1930sTrains #ExperimentalTransport #SovietProjects
