Description
The Train De La Reconnaissance Francaise (French Gratitude Train) was built in 1885 in Lyon, France. Restoration was done by the 40 et 8 Grande du Utah, the local chapter of La Société des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux. Known as the Merci Boxcar, one of 48 distributed to each state, was a gesture of gratitude to the people of the United States for aid given to France after World War II.
