This publicity endeavor was carried out by the United Drug Company (Rexall), founded by Louis Liggett, along with the assistance from several railroads, most notably the New York Central. The train went on a months-long tour around the country during 1936 as a rolling national convention for druggists. During a time when the United States was still pulling itself out of the Great Depression the concept proved incredibly successful with millions visiting the train during its many hundreds of stops. Towards the end of the year the party was over and the equipment returned to its owners. When the train debuted the streamliner was craze was hitting the nation; Union Pacific and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy had introduced the originals in 1934 and it quickly caught on around the nation. As a result, the Rexall Train was powered by a gleaming 4-8-2 and rebuilt heavyweight cars. (american-rails.com)
