Are there any trains which run on road surfaces, not tracks?
The ancestors of rail vehicles were the early plate-ways and tram-ways, the technology evolving and branching into the recognised trams systems and the railways. But the trams once electrified then went a step further, keeping the electric propulsion but removing the rails to create trolley-buses, typically single vehicles.
But has anything similar ever happened with railways, has there ever been anything recognisable as a train with multiple connected vehicles, capable of moving as one long vehicle along a route, which ran on a road surface rather than on rails?
