3597 The Merci Train: France's Grateful Response to America (FREE)
After World War II, Americans filled 700 railroad cars with food and supplies to aid struggling Europeans through the “Friendship Train.” In gratitude, France responded with the famous “Merci Train,” sending 49 boxcars loaded with gifts to the United States in 1949. Join us as we uncover the history, meaning, and lasting legacy of these remarkable railcars and their treasures.
