Stephenson&#8217;s Rocket, which was the first steam locomotive to exceed 25 miles per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 999 Empire State Express steam locomotive was alleged to be the first vehicle to exceed 100 miles per hour (160&nbsp;km\/h) in 1893, although no reliable measurement ever took place (and such a speed was likely impossible). Designed to win the battle of express trains to the World&#8217;s Columbian Exhibition, it was donated to the museum by the New York Central in 1962. The locomotive was located outside the museum until 1993, when extensive restoration took place and it was moved indoors as an exhibit in the Transportation Zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two World War II warplanes are also exhibited. Both were donated by the British government: a German <strong>Junkers Ju 87 R-2\/Trop. Stuka<\/strong> divebomber\u2014one of only two intact Stukas left in the world\u2014and a British <strong>Supermarine Spitfire<\/strong>.
