Our family went to North Judson to ride the 765 a few years ago.It was a memorable day.
Are there any outtakes of the engine from the Coke commercial that can be posted?

While the opening segment obviously plays off some of the Polar Express scene with the arrival of the train, the crowd scenes and the slow pace of the music remind me of the music video for "Can You Feel It?"by the Jacksons. Here is a link: http://youtu.be/7IHBak6WmFk
This is only an observation on the style of filming. I cannot imagine that many people so glad to see one case of Coke arrive in town. (Or a peacock feather in the video)
But that's Hollywood

I noticed the large bottles as well. If I had to guess, I'd say Coke did not want it to look like today's bottles were small. Being 71, I certainly remember those small bottles. Is it just me, or did Coke taste much better in them compared to larger bottles or cans?
The film was great...but I was expecting the KID to come down from the cab since he was imagining himself as a engineer.
The large bottles were used so that they would show up prominently in the ad. Coke does the same thing in their own ads.
Coke had nothing to do with the production of this ad and had no control over the props used in it. This was done by Kelly Lynch at Lynchpin Productions, totally on spec. Read my first post here.
KevinB,
You are correct!!!!
Most drinks had the more delicious flavor of cane sugar and I believe, I know I'm wrong, BUT, in my opinion, cane sugar was a lot more healthier and there was less diabetes, years ago!!!!!!!!!
