It's a train out of a "Hunger Games" world.
Except it could actually happen.
A nearly invisible train designed by one of Japan's leading architects is scheduled to debut in Tokyo in 2018...
Designed by award winner Kazuyo Sejima, the commuter train uses semi-reflective and semi-transparent materials to blend into the scenery whether it's traveling through the city or the countryside, according to a Newsweek report.
The train "travels in a variety of different sceneries, from the mountains of Chichibu to the middle of Tokyo, and I thought it would be good if the train could gently coexist with this variety of scenery," Sejima said.
