Train dudes,
I enjoyed the Chevy truck commercial during the Daytona 500 where the HD Chevy is pulling a mixed frieght with what looks like a custom built, for the commercial, auto/truck hauler car. They also do what I have done and have trucks on a bulkhead car. Might be fun to study this one. [^]
In addition GE has a CGI commercial with a U-boat.

yeah, I noticed...
Plus, there's one with a guy sitting in an auto, adjusting his dashboard selections... when, suddenly this RR Conductor appears at his window and asks for his ticket, and how he feels the ride is...
The camera pans wide and back and there's a whole train load of auto-racks, but they have no sides, so that you can see all of the vehicles.
And just barely are the locomotives in view.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

I must have missed some of the truck commercial. This train was pulled by a pick-up and only had a few load of trucks. It had some other odd cars, like one side-dump car.
You don't see much of the loco on the GE commercial. There was a nice poster in Newsweek, last year that shows 2 GE units in blue, green and a white swoosh traveling around Morant's Curve in Alberta.
I have also seen a NS commercial with the tree loading the train.

hey, that's a famous curve!
It was dubbed Morant's Curve after Nicolas took the pictures of the Canadian Pacific's "Canadian" passenger train. He's written a book with those photo's... that's one Heavy book!
