Why do I think this is a grade crossing accident waiting to happen?

As I've said elsewhere...

Let the Pander Express keep a rollin.

These, like most instances of corporate patriotism just feel like complete scams. "Look, we might be laying people off left and right, treating our employees like crap, and screwing over the municipalities we run through every chance we get, but look: a flag!".

Quote from: Doctor Johnson
Patriotism having become one of our topicks, Johnson suddenly uttered, in a strong determined tone, an apophthegm, at which many will start: "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." But let it be considered, that he did not mean a real and generous love of our country, but that pretended patriotism which so many, in all ages and countries, have made a cloak of self-interest.

So, whenever I see someone waving a big flag, I immediately become suspicious.

They should do one in black with a pile of flowers on top and call it "The Spirit of a Once Great Railroad System"

Nice effort - 911 is cool, but that digital camo looks like peeling paint.
