Went out to trainwatch via motorcycle this afternoon and saw something that might be fun to model for Union Pacific fans. A U.P. container freight was headed up Beaumont hill, and the lead unit had a flagstaff vertically attached to the engineer's side of the cab from which was flying a pretty good-sized American flag! (4' x 6'?) The freight was making enough headway that the flag was flying out quite straight from the staff, which made it's presence very obvious.
I've seen this same thing once before, not long after 9/11, but this is the first time I've seen a loco decorated that way since then, and I've *never* seen anyone model it.
