First time in years

I was watching TV in my bedroom last night and i wasn't really paying attention to the commercials, when all of a sudden you would never guess what I saw .......
I actually saw a commercial for the CSX Railroad. I about fell over from shock. I haven't seen a railroad commercial in years...:tb-wink::thumbs_up:

 

CSX ad in Texas??? I'm surprised it was not a BNSF or UP ad. There seems to be a national champaign with the railroads in what ever area being in the ads. I was visiting a friend in the Fort Worth area a saw the BNSF ad. In PA it was a NS ad. Here in KY the only ones I have seen is CSX. The every one that I have seen has the same theme, the amount of freight (tons), distance traveled and 1 gallon of fuel.

A few years back I seen a BNSF commercial about moving lumber on the weather channel at about 2 in the morning, showed some dash 9's lugging some loaded lumber cars across a bridge near Glacier. Maybe it was Medicine Hat or something (I hope I didn't mess up the name).

 

I saw that CSX commercial, too and I was shocked. Why would a railroad advertise on TV?

 

Because folks in companies who make decisions on how to ship stuff also watch TV. :tb-wink:

 

There are several CSX ads, They run in Pennsylvania on a regular basis..

 

And in the Deep South also, both CSX and NS.

 

I have Dish so I'm not real sure what channel I was watching , but it just surprised me. I even made mention of it to my wife.

 

See CSX ads all the time and a fair number of NS ads. Both say they're the 'future of transportation'. Can't say I've seen any UP or BNSF commercials. For a while, Glen Beck's TV show had a segment sponsored by CSX.
