New Coors Commercial shows --- A Yellow Denver Rio Grand F Unit pulling a train of boxcars across a very scenic trestle somewhere in the rockies "We ship beer by train to places like Buffalo Dallas San Fransico Ext." This is the first time in along time that a company using shipping by rail as a sales point. By the way DR&W is part of UP and F units on freights went out years ago

There's a fleeting three-second shot of four F40PH's from the now-defunct Ski Train operation. Though the units were decorated "Rio Grande," the railroad was not the direct operator. This is obviously a stock shot, the F40's were not hauling freight (Coors or otherwise). The engines in the ad are not traditional F-units.
By the way DR&W is part of UP and F units on freights went out years agoThanks for the update.
