Reminds me of the atmospheric railway from very long ago, remnants at Crystal Palace. It was a train in a tunnel with leather sealing rings between train and tunnel. Air was pumped into the tunnel to push the train though like a bullet in a rifle barrel. You won't be surprised to know it wasn't a success.
