- Norfolk Southern's "City of Possibilities" showcases the railroad's role as a creator of economic possibilities-a powerful force for growth among the industries and communities served by the line.
The ad is a whimsical portrayal of a boy and his dog, and the steady growth of a railroad-served community that comes to life while they sleep. In the last decade, NS has participated in the location and expansion of more than 1,000 factories, distribution facilities, and other businesses along its lines, representing an investment by NS customers of $30 billion and some 46,000 jobs.
The spot was produced by Norfolk Southern's advertising agency, RP3 Agency of Bethesda, Md., and by The Mill of New York, N.Y., an award-winning creator of computer-generated graphics.
When was kid I always thought it was something like that happened when everything was quiet and lonely.
Now I'm grown (59), ... and I want to believe it!.
Very good advertising, is one of the great dreams of childhood, thanks for posting.

@@12vv87 lol
I am going to NS Inman yard today yay
Plan on working for Norfolk Southern in the future
probably one of the best commericals i have seen, the use of rendering with mental ray was very well done.
Very well done. I am a huge NS fan and watch the trains every chance I get and It is great when the crew waves back! Thanks NS!!
I wonder if NS has considered re-running this commerical during Christmas season.
Model trains and Christmas trees go together well.
I love this commercial!
I love this commercial!!
I love this commercial!!!
I'm sorry for repeating myself, but I love this commercial.
0:19 Any other railfans notice the NS Heritage logos on the side of the toybox?
Garrett's Trainz Studios! Idid to
those were some of former rail lines acquired by NS. sadly, not all were shown ....
:O
My favirote is the nickel plate road heritage unit, still haven't caught it yet though.
oh yeah it does, nice
This is one of the best and most creative train commercials I've ever seen. Way to go, NS!
Great commercial. My father was a Lionel RR hobbyest. In the 1950's the RRs had the greatest Calendars and train shows with at Grand Central Station or the Old Penn Station in NY. You are now on my radar. Thanks
This has to be hands down my favorite commercial
I especially enjoyed the old railroad heralds on the toy box. Thank you NS for embracing your railroad heritage.
My favorite commercial I've seen on TV all year. True to the American Spirit! Reminds us of why we are who we are: Americans. Well done, Norfolk Southern!
That's the cutest NS ad I've ever seen!
The music to this is very uplifting, love this commercial.
I really love this commercial NS. It is moving for all ages and the message is clear. In addition to being an amazing commercial on its own, I'd like to personally thank whoever added those little details, and let them know they are appreciated. Hope that double track mainline is a part of the future. Thanks again!
That was one of the neatest commercials I had seen in a long time. Kudos Noroflk Southern...keep dreaming and creating possibilities!
Wonderful ad. I love Norfolk Southern.
For a commercial this is certainly a fantastic piece of creativity. Very well done NS
We certainly will. Thanks for the kinds words!
As a Marketing Major, I approve! Great PR NS, can't wait to see more!! Great CRM efforts here!
Congrats NS! A great advertisement; so many impressive small details.
Well, no wonder my layout doesn't do all of that, I've been running Penn Central, Erie Lackawanna and CSX all this time!
Erie Lackawanna would have worked like this if they had the chance.
yeah ;-;
xD
godamnit, tell those damn penn central trains to stop tipping over.
Fantastic, clearly they spent time on this. I hope to see it all over TV
Love this commercial and the music is captivating,
ABSIFRICKINLUTELY AWWWSOME!! Nice work NS, the details are amazing.
Great ad, love NS!
Now I see what my son has always seen in his trains....I really love this advertisement!
I really love this song! I wish I could have the track...
Good job with the creativity and the seamlessness in this commercial!
finally. Its not marked as "For kids."
anywhay this is freaking amazing. It gives off that Toy Story VIbe.
Thanks very much!
0:18 hm nice Easter egg NS, you put the logos of most of the railroads that came to form you
it's the toybox of a kid that likes trains.
I swear there was 3 comments here
It’s 0:21
I noticed too
have to admit, I nearly got emotional watching this - brought back childhood memories of playing trains No mode of transport has contributed to building of the worlds nations more than the train. NS has captured it quite well in this video.
NS's current program of Heritage units and running steam, coupled to a business model that includes public opinion, has trumped its image by leaps and bounds. Congratulations, NS!
Best commercial to date. I want to work for NS
WE ARE DERAILING WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
dang i wish i could press a button and it would give me more model train track :/
I’m convinced this commercial was like an Easter Egg to the heritage units. I loved this commercial when I saw it on TV.
Awesome video, thank you.
Nice Video NS, I especially like The Toy Box with all the predecessor railroads on it!
So a magical NS engine that shocked every toy in this kids room turning this into a toy story film. Cool
0:21 shows the railroads NS is made of. I can't believe it!
That commercial is awesome 👍👍😊
Absolutely BRILLIANT commercial - and matches the philosophy of our company - EarthWise Ventures, Inc. We believe that for-profit private investment is the only way to sustainable economic development - our focus is infrastructure as well - marine transport in sub-saharan Africa.
These could be new characters for Toy Story 5 if they made one.
Railroads our our past. Railroads are the present. Railroads are the future.
One of your trains goes by my house and I like the sound of it sometimes some of the horns sound like steam whistles
Awwww! :) Dude that was cute, yeah I liked that they included the fallen flags that make them up in the comercial, wow, great job Norfolk Southern, great job :D.
Beautiful and TRUE!
WOW that was cool! This is how a corporation SHOULD be!
POV: you are in my future bedroom and something super weird happens to my train set happens when I go to sleep
Thanks for all the older railroad logos on the toy chest. Norfolk & Western is the railroad I first knew as they had railway in Moberly, MO. Nice seeing that logo again! Keep up the good work, NS!
Absolutely incredible!
Cool. I like it!
Funny thing for me is, I work for a local school district north of Columbus OH but I pretend I work for NS. I have NS jacket, NS ball cap, winter stocking knitted hat, NS short sleeved work shirts and coffee mug with matching coaster.
At 0:08 it says 30 on the lamp
Kudos.. going out to NS for this. Nice Video ! You're in our dreams too.
Did anybody notice the heritage railroad logos on the toy chest? I really loved this.
I ❤ NS trains
This is Super Bowl quality.
Really great commercial!
I always loved this commercials
MAGICAL...LOVE IT...!
Was relevant when it came out but now in 2024, its not what it use to be
I really like all the toys and the fish tank in this room.
I notice the Norfolk southern logos on the toy box there was a conrail n and w and Wichita more
Very good video NS :D
And the alphabet blocks on the floor in front of the toy box, naturally, spell NS. This has to be one of the most-awesome commercials that I have ever seen for any company. NS, who was the Darrin Stephens at which ad agency that created this masterpiece? However, it is a bit busy (as I know your road is) - but I love it!
NORFOLK SOUTHERN I AM A FAN
awesome ad ... very nice..! :D
Really great concept and execution!
Well done NS
WOW! just pure WOW!
I'd like to know how they got a camera 10 years Ago at 1080p that looks like 4K
Wow amazing
AWESOME!!!
Nice!
awesome to see both the "Southern" and N&W" stickers on the trunk.
Very cool, and very true!
Didn’t know NS starred in Toy Story 4
Ha. This is like toy story meets NS!
100%
0:20 Didn’t think I’d notice all of Norfolk Southern’s predecessor railways?
you should make that the trailer for toy story 4 that would be awesome i am a huge rail fan and NS you have do a terrific job well done.
that moment when a railway company gives one of it's diesel locomotives a *steam whistle.*
now i want to buy alot of NS model trains
Lol me too
When is the Norfolk Southern Story movie dropping?
Creative idea
This is amazing
0:20 nice reference to your history NS!
Conrail sticker on the toy box. Awesome
if only i could afford to own a decent Norfolk southern model
That looks so cool I really wish I have the same thing
I remember seeing this add on a Burger King TV. Great memories
Wish I had a room like that
I know I did something about it but was that a Bachmann afternoon since it had the six axles it could have been an athearn SD something EMD SD my guess is as in a thorn or a Bachmann course Atlas is still an option there
Great commercial. What scale trains were used?
Ho scale
When the O Scale NS Heritage diesels are produced you could make a new commercial.
EAST PALESTINE WILL NEVER FORGET
2024 anyone
How are they walking and how is the train running by itself
