Passenger Trains > Ready Or Not, Here Comes Christmas!

Here's a cute rail-themed video that TO members might enjoy. 

It appears that this storyline was inspired by Amtrak (double-decked, fluted cars on late trains and a version of complimentary "Amstew" being served to keep the passengers happy) and the car at the end of the train looks a lot like a Milwaukee Road Skytop lounge observation.

For many years it was traditional on Union Pacific passenger trains to have a Christmas tree on display in the lounge cars during the holiday season, although I'm not sure if the crews picked them up "on the fly" from a station agent, as is depicted in this video!

Thanks for posting this. I'll make sure my grand kids see it. d

Fun.  Cute.  Mail hook to gather the needed items.  Even a Hiawatha rear observation section for the celebration!! 

Fantastic!!  Who came up with this idea?

TERRIFIC

The star of the show is the same fellow who headlined "the Pianist" and played a role in the remake of King Kong about 15 years ago. Sorry I do not recall his name.

Outstanding! Now THAT'S what I call a great Christmas ad!

All step aside now: Santa skiing on the Norelco, Budweiser Clydesdales, Santa with the babes at the Fiat dealership, and M&M's encountering Santa. There's a new holiday season advertising champ. Think somebody at H&M's agency is a railfan?
