Jane Sweetland will talk about two trains that crossed the Atlantic after WWII: The “Friendship Train” and The “Merci Train.”First, people in the U.S. sent food and clothing to war torn Europe, then France sent back a train car for each State as a thank you for the generosity.
Nevada’s “Merci” car arrived in Carson City on February 23, 1949 loaded with French products for charity.
Ms. Sweetland’s, Boxcar Diplomacy: Two Trains that Crossed an Ocean, is available on Amazon and other book sellers.
