I think a lot about the architecture ideas drawn by 脡tienne-Louis Boull茅e
They're sketches from the 1780s and they look like the end of the fucking universe

"The Leap Frog Railway is a special pier with a track leading nowhere, on which Reynolds stages the impossible: two bulletlike trains move toward each other at full speed on the same track, to meet an absurdist challenge once posed by Mark Twain as "the only thing that Yankee Ingenuity had not yet accomplished ... the successful passing of two car- loads on a single line of tracks."
The Leap Frog cars rely on a technical invention that mimics animal copulation. They carry a pair of bent rails on their backs that allow them to glide over and under each other. (On the return trip the cars change position.) "The passengers in breathless excitement momentarily antici- pating disaster, realizing that their lives are in jeopardy, clinging to one another for safety, closing their eyes to the impending danger....
The cars crash into one another, 32 people are hurled over the heads of 32 others.... They are suddenly awakened to a realization of the fact that they have actually collided with another car and yet they find them- selves safe and sound proceeding in the same direction in which they started...."
Ostensibly the Leap Frog Railway is a prototype "to reduce the mortality rate due to collisions on railways," but in this apotheosis of the tradition of barely averted disaster Reynolds has blended the mechanics of sex with the imminence of death in a single respectable experience."
