If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 141 kilometers per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit.

FSO Warszawa also had a draisine version

Wouldn't you have to lock the diff to make this work?

The inside flange of the train wheels should counteract/correct the torque steer if you don't get carried away with the throttle.

I'd reckon it would still work with an unlocked diff, though they might be able to accelerate quicker with a locked one

Conical wheels don't work if the wheels can move independently. There's nothing to stop the car from rotating and falling between the tracks.

You're partially right: independently moving wheels don't have the self-steering effect that a solid axle would have. But: the wheels in this picture do have a flange on their inner sides that will prevent the car from derailing

How much power would it require to push it to reach 88 mph?

Probably would need a steam powered train behind it, maybe with some high intensity fuel logs to give it a boost.
