Houston has it, but I reckon not many other cities do......

Unfortunitly, my city and state(Philadelphia, PA) doesn't have a ventage steam locomotive on their seals or flags. :( I wish we did. I think we should since the Pennsy was the heart and soul of ground transportation at one time. Ya know?// LOL. This seems like a good idea to propose to Govenor Rendell, and Mayor Street.

I was recently having a yarn with Ed about the Houston City Crest. I noticed on the official City of Houston website that crest/seal for the city had a steam loco on it! (For a view of the Houston City seal, go to www.cityofhouston.gov then click on City Government under the About Houston tab.)

So I asked Ed about it, and he explained to me that the loco was on the seal due to the huge role the railways played in the development of the city. He said that at one point, 18 different railroads entered Houston! [:0]

So, to all you Forum Folk, does any other city "up over' have a loco on their seal/crest? [;)]
