VIA Rail commercial (1985)

There was something about Canada back then.

Interestingly this commercial is very similar in style to the Amtrak ads from the same time period. I love it!

took me months to scratchbuild an HO scale replica of one of those then of course a company releases a ready to run model......happens every time. well at least mine is unique and closer to the real thing

foamtard, unless you have something constructive to say, don't say anything at all

I miss the old "Take a Look at the train today" commercials....I wonder if anyone has that soundbite...???...

[Daniill35]

ya its really smart showing kids running

just feet away from a moving train

[TrainmasterCurt]

Yeah, the good old cab units, the FP7's FP9's and FPA4's, sure miss those engines, they had that classic diesel look

[TrainmasterCurt]

And at that time it still ran on the CPR mainline, now it's on the CNR

[2GUNBOY]

Do not forget the FPA-2's!

[lexmarks567]

back when they used those old bulldog engines

[airodyssey]

Would anyone have the French commercial that had a jingle that said "Venez voir! Le train vous emmène..."
