T-1097 Very interesting sign from the "Merci
Train" send to Oregon in 1949 by the French Citizens in
gratitude for the massive outpouring of relief support and
supplies send by the Americans in 1948. 700 carloads of
supplies!! To thank us they sent a loaded, WW1 Vintage "40
and 8" railcar loaded with gifts from the French people, to
each American state.. These were stored outside for many
years and some have perished. The Oregon Train still exists
and is shown here along with a newer sign which sits where
this one did back in the 1960s. Very interesting footnote in
the relationship we have shared with France since the
Revolution. Approx 18 x 24 inches. $125ON
