Disclosed is a car body for use in a train which includes a fan mounted thereon and constructed to generate airflow at least in part in a longitudinal direction of the train. The car body may be coupled to one or more locomotives or car bodies within the train. As the train moves through a tunnel, for example, the fan is rotated by a power source to increase movement of air within the tunnel annulus, thereby reducing locomotive overheating or stalls within the tunnel. Flow directors to direct air into or out of the inlet and outlet of the fan may also be provided on the car body. Also, the fan may be mounted to the car body via a pivoting connection to allow for adjustment of its inlet/outlet and thus the generated airflow direction.
