There is a new Toyota Corolla commercial out, featuring Ricky Nelson’s Traveling Man, that features a train https://www.ispot.tv/ad/I8XM/2020-toyota-corolla-hybrid-train-song-by-ricky-nelson-t1 The passenger cars are labeled “Steele and Western”, but I cannot find any reference to this road. Does anyone have any information about this road, or is it fictitious for the commercial?
Read that it was shot on the Filmore & Western [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fillmore_and_Western_Railway ] with computer generated backgrounds. Long ago I was a volunteer on New Jersey's Black River & Western RR and its proximity to New Your City gave the railroad an edge for ad agencies seeking a railroad environment.
Ah, probably. The loco in the commercial looks to have the same livery as the Geep on the Wikipedia page.
