This is a one-of-a-kind car. The CB&Q shops painted this boxcar in a special red, white and blue paint scheme for the Abraham Lincoln Friendship Train in January 1948. The Friendship Train carried food for European relief after World War II. The program had the backing of church organizations with CROP, the Christian Rural Overseas Program, taking the lead.

Americans were encouraged to grow their own during World War II so that more food was available for the war effort. This car, from the Garden State's own Central Railroad of New Jersey, has the classic Victory Garden poster on the left side of the door.

This is the 2nd DeLuxe boxcar honoring POWs and MIAs ... this one with the service ribbon from Desert Storm. Road # VA 199011991 has been assigned, which represents the dates of the conflict.

This boxcar salutes the Air Demonstration Squadron of the U.S. Air Force. The Thunderbirds are based out of Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, Nevada. This year, they celebrate 55 years of representing over 500,000 Airmen, National Guardsmen and Reservists worldwide.

This car honors the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron--the Blue Angels. Formed on April 24th, 1946, the Blue Angels serve as positive role models and goodwill ambassadors for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
