The Freedom250 Train arrived in Medora at 11:28.  POTUS exited out the last car at 11:36. POTUS is going down the rope line now. 
 
Onlookers chanted “USA” briefly as the train pulled up, again quickly while waiting for POTUS to depart, and loudly when he did depart. The train is red, white, and blue with patterns of stars. It has 5 cars. The front 3 cars have a few different words/phrases on them including “We the people” “freedom” and “liberty.” The last two cars read “United States of America 1776-2026.”
