May be a totally stupid and pointless idea, but does anyone think a race between a zeppelin and a locomotive is a good idea? Like would anyone (besides steampunk fans) pay to see it? Talking full-size zeppelin, not a Goodyear blimp.

The train would obviously win.
How about entering a blimptrain into the race?

Then there can be no real victor, ergo no proper race.
on a somewhat related note, what do y'all think about luxury blimp travel? like I know it's outdated by airplanes, but so are boats, and people still spend ridiculous amounts of money for cruises
>>1067638
I think there's an outfit that does sightseeing trips by blimp down the west coast
>>1067624
The real winners are the passengers

But what if the track is winding? The airship can travel in a relatively straight line from start to finish, while the train has to follow the tracks. Would it make up for the speed difference?
>>1067744
That may possibly be.
>>1067674
Probably.
