Hi everyone,
Can anyone help me identify this car? It doesn't have any markings underneath to indicate its origin. It's not the Tyco, which is white. This was found in a box with all Life-Like CSX vehicles, but does not have the Tropicana promo engine.
Starting my Tyco and other favorites collection over again after 37 years.

Thanks. I don't know how the Tropicana ended up with that CSX train. I know the Tropicana car was in a promo set from 1996 but this came from my wife's dad and he passed in 1995, so it had to be 1995 or earlier.
That life-like stuff from the 70s-90s is not necessarily that easy to find.
I like a lot of the Life-Like advertising cars like Doritos and Tootsie Roll - I've got some on my wantlist.

CSX runs the Tropicana Juice Train between Florida and New York.
