James Monroe Presidential Car #5
With Commemorative Button Road Number 1817-1825
This 40' standard box car with plug door and no roofwalk is car #5 of a 44-car series representing each of the presidents of the United States. It bears the portrait of our fifth president, James Monroe. The car comes with a commemorative pin replicated from that era. Monroe proclaimed the Monroe Doctrine restricting Europe from colonizing or interfering in the affairs of the newly independent states of the Americas. This was a defining moment in U.S. foreign affairs.
