My opinion of the ad is the same as M/car. That is get eco friendly & ship via rail instead of by truck clogging our roads. [:o)][:D][:p]

I saw an add for the NS over the weekend. Saw it twice once on CNN and then I think MSNBC. I show trees lifting containers of moving trucks on an road and placing them on empty container cars on an NS train. The add claimed that they take a lot trucks of the road every year, I can not remember the number they claimed. I think this add was aimed at the general public touting how eco freindly the NS and all railroads are.

...The NS add is kinda interesting and I hope it gets more airtime...depicting dragging freight off crowded hiways and putting it on parallel freight lines... {NS}, and freeing up space for the public to travel on the hiway...Makes sense, lets do it.....

That's because the UP is "Building America." I should imagine it's very hard to build a whole country with moving parts. Heck, I don't think I could even build a log cabin if the Lincoln Logs were moving! [:p]

There is no such thing as a bad day of railfanning. So many trains, so little time.
