The program, Richard Wright titles, and the ephemera are bound inside stiff brown cardboard covers with a paper title label "The American Freedom Train 1975 1976" on the front cover. James Bogle, former local Atlanta train historian and compiler of this collection writes: "This booklet contains an assortment of information concerning the American Freedom Train which toured the United States during 1975 and 1976 in conjunction with our Bicentennial Celebration. The train was pulled by three different steam engines. When it came to Atlanta in May of 1976, the ex-Southern Pacific No. 4449 was on the head end. It was here for about a week and I hardly missed a day in going out to the Atlanta Army Depot to see it and I made many photographs. It is indeed a very beautiful engine.
