Engineer Rebecca DeGreff pulls the first electric train "Mary Meachum" into a station at the Saint Louis Zoo in St. Louis on Tuesday, March 28, 2023. The Saint Louis Zoo Emerson Zooline Railroad is adding a new train with a green initiative. This additional locomotive is an electric train, which accompanies the six other locomotives that are currently in use at the Zoo. Meachum was an abolitionist in St. Louis who was instrumental in educating Black people and played a critical role in the Underground Railroad. Photo by Bill Greenblatt//UPI
