* The Iron Horse in ''[[Rifts]] World Book 14: The New West'' is a fire-breathing [[Magitek]] train powered by captured greater demons.

Luckily for them, more reasonable [[Mad Scientist]]s understand the importance of communications and donate... or even join. Thus their equipment is as good as it is fancy. The train we have seen close by "[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140307 Wyrm of Limerick]". Aside of looking nice inside and outside, it can remove [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140620 snow avalanches] with fire, carries people and toys who deal with more complex problems... and have a curious evacuation system in case they ''cannot'' handle something.
