Rocket Brakes Locomotive

The Rocket Brakes Locomotive was also another Train Concept that wasn't really a fully proposed design and was more of an idea.
The Rocket Brakes Locomotive had made an appearance on one of the pages of a magazine called "Popular Mechanics Magazine" and the magazine was sold to the public in March 1947. The Rocket Brakes Locomotive was seen on Page 164 of the magazine "Popular Mechanics Magazine".
The magazine that the Rocket Brakes Locomotive had appeared in and that was sold to the public in March 1947 had cost 25 cents.
== Ideas for the Design ==
The idea was that it would use a Diesel locomotive (Maybe an ALCO PA, FA, EMD E-Unit, F-Unit or even an FT Unit) but giving it modifications on it, those modifications would be such as equipping it with rockets for the braking power on the diesel, this would inflate operating costs (if it was built) for the American railroads that operated it.
== Why wasn't it Built? ==
Rockets wouldn't really be a good idea to use for brakes as it would require more fuel for them.
== Trivia ==
