I know there are many collectors for both, seems like it would be a great hit if you ask me.

Quoted from Rarehero:Would be a mega flop.
In other words... a train wreck?
Actually, I'd be in for a train wreck theme.
Quoted from Rarehero:AC/DC - Rock 'n Roll Train
This has been brought up before, though…no one cares about trains. Would be a mega flop.
No one cares about mustangs or Metallica, but they sold ok. Hmm.

Lol..really?!? This could not be further from the truth...

Quoted from mbott1701:W?D, too. "ride the train!" ...although I think its an elevated train.
RIDE THE TRAIN HOP ON THE TRAIN RIDE THE TRAIN GET ON THE TRAIN RIDE THE TRAIN *I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.*

Don't forget to "answer the phone!" 
Quoted from NYP:KC Jones is another one. BTW, anyone remember how that song went?
KC Jones was a .........
It was "Casey Jones"...

WOW. Multi level, and ramps, on a mechanical pin. 4 different levels to boot.
The Zepher was a very important train. So to me, I am not surprised there was a pin made for it. But did the pin ever show up in one of its cars? Most likely no.
Quoted from jlm33:Nostalgia features a train as well, even if it is not its central theme.

That's awesome!
Maybe you could get to work on Proc retheme of a road show?
Should have specified SS or newer

4 levels, take that haunted house!

Interesting to see the pinball was called KC Jones (my bad for not checking 
) but the tv show was Casey Jones.
I wonder if this is one of the first instances of a manufacturer (Gottlieb) trying to avoid copyright infringement?
Quoted from hardware:Apparently they've done enough over the years.
No recent ones though!
I would love to see a train theme pin though it would just have to feature diesels (modern and heritage) none of that steam or electric crap 
Not sure what kind of modes or objectives you would have though on a modern game...any ideas?

A hurry up mode where you have to stop a runaway train, think silver streak (movie).
Road Show would be the perfect pin to re-theme into some sort of ticket-to-ride or transcontinental railroad theme. It already has the map of the US and shows various cities. Has talking heads that could be transformed into a comical engineer/conductor duo. Shoot the ball into what used to be the blast zone to hook up more cars... shoot the ball at the sleeping engineer to save the train... activate the shaker when you fail and the train crashes... there are possibilities...
