- Description
-
After WWII in Washington, D.C., radio commentator and columnist Drew Pearson first proposed the idea of a U.S. "Friendship" train of food for the starving people of France and Italy.
The idea caught the hearts and imaginations of the Americans, and on Nov. 7, 1947, 12 loaded boxcars and a locomotive left Los Angeles, amid parading movie stars and bright lights. The train crossed the country, and on Dec. 8, 214 gift-laden cars sailed for France.
The French expressed their gratitude in 1949 by sending 49 of the old boxcars, filled with gifts for each state.
Built in the 1800s and used in both world wars, the boxcars were nicknamed "40 and 8's" because they could transport 40 soldiers or eight horses.
