Too late. It’s been pulled.

You can find it here, though.

Definitely in the desert west.

4

The cars look like the old American Orient Express cars, I’ll bet the railroad is the California Northern, based on the scenery and the quick shot of a GP type unit at around :24.

5

I thought it might be the Napa Wine Train but I dont know if the plantations are allond or vinyyrds in tae backgrouhd

6

The engine is a GP35 if that helps. The tank car has something about Detroit written on it.

7

Whats up with that I slowed that down too…

8

The tank car has the Opportunity Detroit logo on it. Not sure what the connection is to Quicken.

The reporting marks on the tank car are hard to make out - it looks like FWWV or FWWY. The only similar AAR mark I found was Fort Worth and Western: FWWR, although a search for FWWV brought up images of a passenger car or trolley.

I think it is the Filmore and Western Railway in California.

Fillmore & Western GP35 3502 has turned up in a number of television programs and commercials. Even my wife is getting pretty familiar with it.[:-^]

11

Found an image of it painted in the green and cream schema, lettered for California and Arizona. Near the bottom of the web page.

I think I found the “tunnel,” too. It has movie prop written all over it. N 34.39992 W 118.89812. Whodathunk?

Quicken is apparently connected with Opportunity Detroit, as evidenced by their website:

Opportunity Detroit news on Quicken’s website

And Quicken is based in Detroit.
