20 cars not listed

[edit]

The article text says that 43 are known to exist (as of an unknown date) but there are only 23 listed in the table. Where are the other 20? Slambo (Speak) 16:26, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

In this article it is stated that Andre Picard launched the Merci train idea in 1949. However if you look at the linked page, the Andre Picard depicted is born in 1951. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.250.46.36 (talk) 15:18, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alaska et al.

[edit]

It says "[49 cars were] divided amongst the 48 states with the remaining car to be shared by the District of Columbia and Hawaii.". Why is DC and Hawaii mentioned, when Alaska, Puerto Rico etc. aren't? Is there any sources/evidence suggesting DC and Hawaii were the only non-states which received anything? If not, why? An elaboration of how DC and Hawaii shared their contents would also be relevant.
