History of Merci Box Car According to newspaper accounts, as the Forty and Eights were being painted, one poor woman rushed past workmen to one of the cars and announced, "I have nothing else to send, I will send them my fingerprints." She then pressed her fingers into the fresh paint. As far as was practicable, the Forty and Eights, hauled without charge by the Association of American Railroads, retracted the route of the Friendship Train. Since the wheels of the boxcars were about eight inches wider than American rails, the Forty and Eights were hoisted onto flatcars for their overland journey. members.aol.com /ala40and8/history.htm

comments type eight Eights live in a hostile world and eights are fiercely loyal to those they love and want to protect. Eights often specifically deny their guilt, covering it up with more aggression and pretending that they have nothing to apologize for. While some other types avoid conflict (notably 9, 3, and 7), eights are energized by it. enneagraphs.chez.tiscali.fr /pages/links8.html

French Gratitude 40 & 8 Boxcar His original idea was to present the United States with a decorated Forty and Eight boxcar loaded with gifts that represented his country, such as fine wines, lace, perfumes, hats and figurines. More than six million families packaged some 52,000 gifts which were priceless in thought, ranging from children's drawings and ashtrays made of broken mirrors, to delicate vases and treasured family heirlooms. When a local veterans organization began to solicit gifts, it was overwhelmed with the immediate response and thousands of people came forward with gifts of gratefulness. sites.state.pa.us /PA_Exec/Military_Affairs/ftig/history/French%20Gratitude.htm

A KLEE FAMILY SAGA These box cars were the famous Forty and Eights of WWI fame, still in use. Forty and eight means it can carry forty men or eight horses. It was a long, very slow train with only about ten men to a car, instead of forty (There were no horses.) I don’t think forty men would have fit, and if they did, it could have been only for a very short time. www.letreb.com /Stories/A%20Klee%20Family%20Saga-Brooklyn%20to%20Paris.htm

Forty-and-eights Forty-and-eights were French 4-wheel boxcars used as military transport cars (the term itself refers to the cars' carrying capacity, said to be 40 men or eight horses). Built starting in the 1870s as regular freight boxcars, they were originally used in military service by the French army in both World Wars, and then later used by the German occupation in World War II and finally by the Allied liberators.

Aces and Eights Each hand held in its palm a green crystal orb that shed about as much light as a forty watt bulb. At regular intervals, intricately carved brass hands extended from the curved outer wall. A column of the same ink-colored fire rose up from the fire pit, swaying like an eight foot serpent. real-world.tripod.com /aae/aae08.htm

WCCS ONLINE - Article: Summer Eights 2002: Friday Our crew simply had not been together long enough or have the race experience to be comfortable at such rates, and so were thoroughly outgunned.

trainhopping.html The cars going by are long grain cars, with ladders and short covered porches, maybe four feet by eight, on both ends. I jog alongside the train, trying to keep up, the gravel giving way under my feet and the cars sliding by. That's gonna take us four days non-stop, except for crew changes every eight hours or so. elsa.photo.net /trainhopping.html

Mark College - News To learn that 'six eights are forty-eight' for example, they must start from what they know - 'ten eights are eighty', say - then build up to what they do not know - 'five eights are half of ten eights, which is forty, and six eights are one more eight, which is forty-eight'. This means that in 2005 some boys will now take eight subjects, instead of our usual seven. Also this year will see our first major foray into an Information Technology GCSE. www.markcollege.org.uk /news/news.htm
