A speeding train is crossing the cover through a mountain landscape, leaning over at an angle; rather than wheels it rides on the rails via single big spheres. Magazine cover from 1933.

Everyday Science and Mechanics (December 1933)
I don't know if anyone was proposing this scheme for trains back in 1933 but it's both attractive and hilariously impractical if you think about it for a moment.
It reminded me to re-watch Feynman on “How the train stays on the track’ though.
