Russian professor Boris Weinberg offered a vactrain concept in 1914 in the book Motion without friction (airless electric way). He also built the world's first model of his proposed transport in Tomsk Polytechnic University in 1909.
I believe the illustration below is from 1917 (but I'm a bit confused by the annotation on the Wikisource page).
