German high speed locomotive on display in the Palace of Transportation

Hats off to the team at the St Louis Public Library Digital Collections for scanning over 6,500 glass plate negatives from the 1904 World's Fair, the 'Louisiana Purchase' Exposition held in St Louis. This image shows a Henschel experimental cab-in-front high-speed steam locomotive brought over from Germany for display at the Fair.
