American Freedom Train Belt Buckles Belt buckles were available in various styles. The top one was originally cast by an AFT crew member as a way to make extra money. The first batch made were cast from metal left over from the restoration of locomotive #4449 itself. (Later batches were made from whatever bronze could be found.) The buckle below is of a newer vintage and was available in 1998. |
