I never saw this Union Pacific commercial or heard this jingle before, but it's really catchy! I'd love to see Union Pacific produce a 21st Century remake of this commercial shown nationwide. They could have their "Powered by Our People" unit in at least one shot in the commercial too and update the lyrics to reflect the current and larger Union Pacific where it would go as such: From the engineer in Vegas, to the clerk in Chicago - We're the people of the railroad, and we make the engines go! From the tower out in Dallas to the welder in LA; we're the Union Pacific, and we've got the right of way! From our switchyards in New Orleans to the blue Pacific Shore, We can load up all your cargo - and come rollin' home for more! From the brakeman in Seattle, to the folks who run our show - We're the Union Pacific, and our people make us go!

A nice commercial from the past. Of course if they did an updated version there would be less emphasis on the employees as many of the jobs and functions shown here are now automated. While it still takes people to make the trains run I am sure they would feature the new automated dispatching center and other modern aspects of todays railroads. They also would defiantly include how energy efficient rail shipping is and low pollution it is compared to other methods. But railroads do need to do more advertising to remind consumers how trains are still an important shipping component in getting goods to factories and products to the consumer.

Excuse me? The Union Pacific 4000 Class had very little with the course of the Second World War, and had absolutely nothing to do with the outcome of World War I. The first Union Pacific Big Boy was delivered in 1941 before the US even entered the Second World War, and a good 30 years after World War I ended. The US even alone didn't contribute that much in World War I, the only thing the US did during the war was help speed up the defeat of Germany from 1917 to 1918 and then the war ended. The US only suffered 115,000 Casualties in the First World War compared to the three million Russians, or the four million British and French.
