This is as much as I know:
<>(FRI) ~ Miller Brewing announced that it would operate a specially outfitted passenger train to promote the Miller Lite brand. The train, dubbed the Miller Lite “Taste Revolution Express," will start in Los Angeles, CA May 18 and make stops in 9 cities before arriving in Milwaukee, WI in early June. A Miller spokesman said that winners of a national sweepstakes will be allowed to ride the train for a portion of the trip. (ffd: Miller Brewing Co.)

Hope the power isn’t a diesel locomotive dressed up as the NYC Hundon shown in the commercials. But I hope it is steam powered, but giving the short amount of time they have, it probably will not be. Keep the info coming if anyone knows.

Be kinda hard as their are no NYC Hudsons anywhere anymore, Only Hudson I can think of still around in the SF Hudson on display at the Pomona Fairplex here in Calif.
Now if we could get that baby up and running again!
any word on if it will be powered by alcohol? Or have tank cars full of beer?
After a quick review of this thread, it appears the answer is “no!”
There were several private cars re-decalled “Miller Lite” at Chicago Union Station on the 14th tacked onto the rear of one of the trains; I think it was train 3.
