Today I saw a commercial for AT&T's high speed DSL service and it shows a conductor walking up to the engineer while en route and asking, "just how fast is AT&T DSL?" The engineer responds, "How fast?" and pushes the throttle all the way up, everyone is then seen being pressed into the backs of their seats showing the Surfliner going at unimaginable speeds. I'll try and find it somehow (It was on CH 13 air-wave from the Los Angeles area considering I'm in San Diego, thats some good reception)
While you did not see any logos, the uniforms and the train design is unmistakably, the Pacific Surfliner.
You think AT&T gave Amtrak some money to use some of their equipment for shooting said commercial.
And would you think Amtrak gave the idea to AT&T for marketing, or vica versa.
Either way it was a welcome sight to see a new 2000's style commercial featuring our beloved Amtrak.
Edit:
this is the window-washer "Feeling of fast" I'll keep checking it out to see if someone posts the Surfliner version.
