With the 250th anniversary of the United States upon us, many different organizations are commemorating and celebrating the occasion in their own way.

Several have created special items or merchandise with patriotic theming, though none may top the largest example: multiple rail companies have created commemorative locomotives, including CSX.

Citizens crowded the Waycross train depot area Friday afternoon (June 26) to watch the new CM44AH units depart. The two locomotives, numbered 250 and 2026, feature commemorative patriotic paint jobs.
