I think Lionel had a good idea here. Besides capitalizing on the late 1970s popular interest in semi trucks & their drivers ( Any Which Way But Loose & B.J. & The Bear ). freight trains and semi trucks do exchange lading in the prototype transportaion grid - freight stations & transfer warehouses. Also, there are manfacturing plants that use both modes - obtaining raw materials & shipping finished goods.
Wow, To see Johnny Cash playing a guitar on the front of an L & N Engine while it is moving, you sure wouldn't see that today if CSX had anything to do with it....
awesome commercial!

I do not recall this particular commercial but I do recall one with Johnny Cash in the mid 1970s with some kids operating a layout in the background.
