It is understood by one having ordinary skill in the art that the elevated platform 120 has particular utility when the elevated rail 18 is positioned atop the cover 14. Solar panels 88 can be placed atop the overhang 122.
- the overhang 122 also provides a shelter to the railcar 306. As shown in FIG. 8, the overhang 122 further captivates and directs the flow of accelerated air passing upwardly across the road shelter 10.
- the elevated platform 120 can optionally include an elevated wind turbine 124 which is driven by the accelerated air that has been directed by the overhang 122.
- the elevated platform 120 can include air gates, or valves, (not shown) to regulate the amount of air driving the elevated wind turbine 124.
- the road shelter 10 can optionally include a screen 126 spanning at least a portion of the distance between the major arch beams 28 and 30 below the arch support members 36 and 38.

- a “horizontal” turbine is one which generally includes a rotating horizontal axis
- a “vertical” turbine is one which generally includes a rotating vertical axis.
- the present invention is not intended to be so limited by the disclosure of any particular turbine being either horizontal or vertical. It is intended that any suitable turbine known to one having ordinary skill in the art can be used as described generally above.
- the road shelter can be connected to a power grid to allow the road shelter to provide temporary electricity to surrounding residential and commercial areas during power outages.
- the road shelter can provide near-instantaneous electricity generated by the solar panels and the various wind turbines which is advantageous over many traditional power sources (e.g., coal plants, nuclear power plants, etc.) which can take days to "turn on” and ramp up to full capacity.
- the road shelter can be modified or outfitted with various implements described above as desired.
- the vertical wind turbines can be omitted when the road shelter is located in close proximity to residential or commercial areas.
