Tom, I'm not seeing that light you're seeing. Perhaps it's a different
version. I'm sure many have also seen the BNSF engines featured in GE
ads. The UP and NS are also running some good ads. I don't think
Railroads ever ran ads for the general population before.
When running through Jim's link I came across the video of the new car
shops in Minot, North Dakota. I'm sure most know that region has seen a
giant boom in their oil production so the BNSF invested some money in
that region. I visited the area in 1985 when covering some beginning's
of the oil development. I stopped and photographed a vacant area
showing the outline and pits of their former GN roundhouse. It was
nearly a full circle. If you ever travel in that region pick a time
when you won't freeze. Many of the smaller cities still have preserved
depots of native stone and brick.

. . . . . . . . . .there is a link to the 33 second spot (It begins
with an
AT&SF steam locomotive on a turntable) that PBS plays two or three
times a
week at the beginning of the PBS News Hour highlighting BNSF Railway's
support for that programming. I happen to think it's a classy
vignette... .

Me too.
One part of that bugs me. Toward the end you see a car of some sort
rolling
by and there's a lot of light below. Is that just some kind of sunlight
effect, or is it rail-grinding? It's gone in less than a second.
