"Revolutionary designed coach -- heralding new era in express trains, driven by 500HP engine -- attains 125MPH on first trip from Hanover to Berlin."

The propellor on the back just strikes me as hilarious.

Although this was over 80 years ago, you have to admit that the train still looks pretty sleek and modern. It's amazing to me that the US has such an aversion to high speed rail. I would love to see it run from Chicago to NYC with each major city in between linked up too.
