    The symbol of the “Train de la Reconnaissance Française,” aka “Merci Train” (1949) depicts the frontal view of a SNCF 141 R, one of the many steam locomotives “Made in USA” purchased by France after WWII, garlanded with wild flowers (Blue cornflower French: Bleuet; Daisy French: Marguerite; Poppy French: Coquelicot), symbolic of Flanders Field, where thousands of American Doughboys — killed in action during World War I — will forever lie on French soil, buried in massive cemeteries.
