Freight Train is a historic slingshot dragster.[1]

Designed by Nye Frank, it used twin supercharged engines and had an aluminum body.[2] 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.[3]

Freight Train's best result (driven by Walt Rhodes) was a win at the Gatornationals in 1971.[4]
