I'm sure it's USA... but something seems to indicate France in that particular picture... could that train have been used in both countries ?[%-)]

The car next to the engine is ONLY USA so it has to be USA as like somebody also posted the car also has the Penn Central logo on it.

I saw this thing in a book once and they had a picture of a Canadian and American one. Since Canada is not an option I say USA.
