Metropolis Transit Rolls Out The Memory Train

Metropolis, BR. June 18th 2014

Inspiration For The Memory Train Was A Handmade Wooden Train by Artist, Jessica Carollo.

More transit vehicles are getting ad-wrapped these day like giant moving billboards because of the yearly revenue they generate from catching the people's eye. Recently, Metropolis Trains rolled out the first ever ad-wrapped Elevated train for the YouTube sitcom, The Pancake Files. Another train was also wrapped in a yummy looking ad for Cluck-U Chicken, but this time Metropolis Transit took another direction in wrapping. Designed by a you and inspiring artist Jessica Carollo, a full six-car train was wrapped in vibrant colors in a very unique pattern to advertise her Photo & Art shop in Meadow Hill across the street from Exhibition Hall. Named "The Memory Train", the train was based of a simple but creative wooden locomotive. The words "Thanks For The Memories...." are printed along the side.

The artist behind the cleaver wrap say the idea of making a memory train came from a former boyfriend of hers who really like trains. She painstakingly put together the wooden memory train in her vocational school and gave it to her ex as present for Christmas. Recently Jessica, opened up a Photo & Art Studio in Meadow Hill right near the elevated railway lines that feed Exhibition Hall. She came up with the idea of trying to lure more customers into the Studio. Working with Metropolis Transit, the young artist score a firesale deal to ad-wrap six elevated railway cars under the condition that it stays on the 79 & 39 Lines which pass by her store. The Memory Train will continue until fall when the train is due for it's next 90 day inspection. After 90-Days it will be unwrapped and have it's red stripes decaled back on.
