I LOVE IT !
Very apropos...

Way back in Conneaut, with 759 well before 1975, Doyle always enjoyed
Pepsi,  He didn't care for Coke.   That was a sign of something.

One can only imagine the historical implications and life changing if Coca Cola had been the AFT sponsor rather than PepsiCo!

Remember that those corporations that sponsored/supported the AFT did NOT want any sort of "advertising" related to the AFT tour. There was only a fairly Small folding sign-board at the entrance, listing those few corporate "sponsors/supporters", and one corporation didn't even want their name listed there. I'll bet Coca Cole wanted advertising.

Double-headed Chinese locos with red wheels would have been perfect.
