They apply that same "Building America" slogan to lots of rolling stock that has no flag anywhere on it. The Stars and Stripes on the locos is just an additional adornment...I don't get where you think this is being used as "advertising" - just because of it's proximity to the slogan on the hood? Would you still feel that way if the slogan was located on the cab instead, away from the flag? <br /> <br />Even if it were being used by UP for advertising purposes, which in my opinion it is not, I would find that far, far less offensive than some of the things that are passed off as "art" incorporating the flag.
