(...) I agree, I do not think uniqueness is the point, but I also do not think that canopy was designed for trains. It doesn't resemble any trains. After all how many trains have a large glass popup (or not popup) canopy on the engine. That canopy (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) That means it is not unique. The last time I can think of was 1995, with the Freight Rail Runner's windows and Sliding boxcar doors. Jeff (25 years ago, 26-May-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Well, actually, uniqueness is the point. John Neal asked when the last *unique* train element was made. And besides, how do you know that the canopy was designed for trains first? Because it is used in other themes the first year of (...) (25 years ago, 27-May-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Agreed. (...) Are we talking about the 4561 canopy??? I'm not sure... But if so I do NOT see that as designed for trains. (1) At least, not US ones.

(...) In fact, it appears in several non-train sets: 6433, 6435 and 6453. I would say that claiming that it is designed for the train line is a bit controversial.
