I believe this is a Mercury train, a streamliner passenger train designed by industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss which was operated by the New York Central Railroad from the 1930s until the 1950s.

Why does this train look like a snow piercer train.
Could the driver & conductor even see forward in these trains? I’ve seen em before & I’ve never seen a windshield.

It looks cool but wont it produce more drag at cost of more fuel or decreased speed? If the front was like a axe eould it made the drag less? Ik bullet trains have a bird like front for low drag and sonic booms at tunnels but the tech at that era wasnt that fast.

Here’s an interesting [Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_(train)) on it.
