Clip from a screencap of two coupled railroad engines on a track. One is labeled "Abraham Lincoln", has a small discreet flag and modest black-and-red coloring. The other is painted white with a gaudy, swirling American flag and "4547" in very large numerals under the driver cabin window.
TIL that there's a railroad engine with designation number 4547 decorated with a big flowing flag, which apparently is currently being used to haul some NASA rocket equipment cross-country.
fwiw the Abraham Lincoln is engine no. 1616.
