Passenger Trains > Bear Paws on Keystone Service Cab Car

Took this photo with my cell phone last week.   Why are there bear paw prints on this AMTRAK cab control car?  Look to the lower left of the door and center right of the door.

From the BEAR, DELAWARE car shop...

Vandals using stencils.

True enough, PHall.

Several years ago Amtrak let its maintenance facilities put decals on equipment assigned to them. The Bear car shop had the bear paws. Philadelphia had a Liberty Bell. Miami had a tarpon. I forget the rest. You'd see them on all the trains you'd ride. And, typically for Amtrak, as with the "Big Game" diesel, nothing ever gets removed.

Oakland, CA should have a handgun for their symbol.
