Remember This? The Sydney System Rail Advertisement (1987)

Remember This? is back for the next few weeks but I am going to focus primarily on old advertisements that have screened on Sydney Television.

There have been a number of individuals who have gone through their old VCR's and Betamax videos and have uploaded advertisements from TV shows that they would have recorded. The collections available get bigger.

I have downloaded the videos from Youtube and viewed them for curiosity and have been bought memories back.

This week, I am going to share an advertisement that State Rail screened in 1987 focusing on the Sydney Rail Network. It was known as The Sydney System. Going by the information that I had, this was screened on Channel 7 on March 3, 1987.

You'll notice that the commercial was filmed on the Illawarra and Eastern Suburbs Rail lines e.g. scenes of a train crossing the Como Bridge feature just after the start of the advertisement. I also saw footage from the drivers cab approaching Rockdale Station.
