Sorry/Not sorry for the train report, but I had a trip through Baton Rouge and found the Louisiana Merci Train Boxcar, next to the old State Capital. SO far we've seen the cars in Georgia, Mississippi and Maryland.
"The French Gratitude Train (French: Train de la reconnaissance française), commonly referred to as the Merci Train, were 49 World War I era "forty and eight" box cars gifted to the United States by France in response to the 1947 U.S. Friendship Train. It arrived in Weehawken, New Jersey on February 3, 1949."
Sorry Alaska and Hawaii, you missed out.
