Carmel, Indiana – April 2026 – As the United States of America approaches its 250th anniversary of Independence in 2026, railroads in both the US and Canada are honoring this milestone with special initiatives. One of the most impressive is the 1776 locomotive from Class 1 Freight Railroad, Canadian National Railway. The locomotive features a giant screaming bald eagle paired with the familiar flowing red, white, and blue stars and stripes motif. The special locomotive will operate across the company’s US rail network throughout 2026, offering employees and rail enthusiasts an opportunity to participate in the nation’s celebration.
