Obviously the train crew did not want anyone thinking that they were ALIENS who made an illegal crossing. [(-D][(-D]

It is good to remember that the two countries are cousins, in a manner of speaking. We should thank them for being so friendly and return the favor with a Maple Leaf of two. [:)][;)][tup][:-^]

Lots of CP locomotives are still running around with the Half Canadian/Half American Flags on them.

The Express Lane train (UP 1-QFRNPP-04) on July 4, 2003 (or 2004) had an American flag on the front of the lead locomotive.
