That would be Macomb & Western Illinois #2, a "Robertson" semi-
convertible built by St. Louis Car Company in early 1904. The M&WI was
conceived as an electric line so this and one other car were designed
as electrics, they were just never given motors and controls since the
M&WI didn't have enough money to actually electrify.
