@heine71 I cant remember the name of the engineer (after the word 'quick') but he's running the train super fast, then he sees John running along the tops of the cars and he says "Boxcars!! Marathon John!" The usual exchange takes place, and the train slows to a stop at the end.
Does anyone remember the Marathon Bar commercial that was during the American War for Independence, and an enemy gets caught. He's asked "any last requests?" and he asks for a Marathon bar. After he finishes it hours later, everyone is asleep in the camp, and he sneaks away...
I loved this candybar, if for nothing else we liked to reinact the commercials. there's another one with a gunfighter I think, post that if ya got it, love to see it.
Lasts a long time? Heck, I had trouble finishing one of those things! Yeah, they were good...but there was a lot of them!

@heine71 I think the actor MIGHT have been the same, though obviously dressed differently...
