Hands Across the Border, Havre, MT

Hands Across the Border in Havre, Montana in February 2000

Near locomotive #2584 is Hands Across the Border Park. The small park consists primarily of a statue of an American Border Patrol officer shaking hands with a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer.  Havre is only 40 miles from the Canadian border, and the Border Patrol meets Amtrak's Empire Builder in Havre, to catch illegal aliens attempting to board the train.  As a result, there are often Border Patrol vehicles parked at the station.
