Wow. Looks good I wonder how long til someone makes a model of this.
They have been wrapping buses in ads for years and now it seems they have moved on to trains. Ah capitalisim, and somehow these ads are better than graffiti. I wonder how long it will be til when we will be riding the "Staples Northeast Corridor on trains that look like the McDonalds MTH passenger set.

Here in San Diego there is a similarly painted bus that has a woody station wagon with surfboards painted on it advertising a radio station. I don't remember the station but I do the paint job on the bus.

Amtrak #84 in the Special Toyota Tundra Paint Job

Here is a photo of one of two Amtrak Special Paint Jobs. Amtrak has a 60 day deal with Toyota to have a Red Toyota Tundra Pick-up Truck on the side of two locomotives. The two locomotives that were painted were #84 (the one in this photo), and #115. This was a very nice sight! Here's the link to the photo: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=85751

Take care everyone, and HAPPY RAILFANNING! :)
