Merci!
After WW I France presented several of these 40/8 (40 people or 8 horses) capacity box cars to America in appreciation for our service.Last autumn Randy Harvey [HARV] took in a Rockies vs Dodgers game and on the way home stopped in Cheyenne, Wyoming to take these photographs for you.

You're welcome Ko. I've seen two of them. The one in Cheyenne, WY and the one in Little Falls, Minnesota. There are two pictures of the one in Minnesota shown as #17 under "My Feature Articles". I would like to see a few more of them one of these days.
Here is a link with a lot of information on all of the cars.
The Merci Train
Thanks,
Randy
