When displaying the flag, DO the following:

My, my, my ... getting touchy now, aren't we? I made NO statement about the worthiness of the train's purpose, but it's obviously for a good cause. Good on 'em !! CPs a Canadian-owned railroad operating a train in the United States, probably with an American crew. There's a correct way to do any particular thing -- all other ways to do that thing are incorrect. Properly displaying OUR flag in OUR country should NOT difficult to do -- but with a 50-50 chance to do it right, CP did it wrong. There's an adage that says you only get one chance to make a good first impression. CP had its chance ... Merry Chriatmas to ALL !!

Now back to the real purpose of this train......and a Happy “Holiday Season" to all! Date: 12/05/16 15:41 Re: Candian Pacific Holiday train yesterday Author: ghCBNS navy5717th Wrote:

In photo #2 the US Flag is properly displayed on the left as you say. http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?15,4167897 Perhaps it's the local crews that place the flags before arriving in a community? Perhaps it was the local US crew in Lannark Ill that placed the flag in the incorrect position? (**There are two train. One travels through the Canada and one that travel through NY crosses through Quebec and Ontario before entering the US again in Michigan. The two trains in Saskatchewan) |
