Steam & Excursion > Trying to remember a TV adDate: 11/14/18 13:27 Trying to remember a TV ad Author: NYC_L4a This would be from '68 to '70 or so. A commercial for luggage touting its ruggedness whereby a suitcase was placed on RR tracks and a large steam locomotive comes by at speed and kocks it about all over the ties, rails, and front pilot.
I was only about 8 years old or so and only saw it once. It was an "in color" commercial and so I'm guessing it had to be a restored mainline steam locomotive, maybe UP 8444 or NKP 759. Just wondering if anyone else remembers and can fill in the blanks. Date: 11/14/18 14:33 Re: Trying to remember a TV ad Author: LocoPilot750 I remember it, I think it was American Tourister. Not sure of the engine, but it wasn't one of the 4-8-4's.
