The Rexall Train (and other "themed" trains)

Stumbled over this curiosity: "In 1935, it occurred to Louis Liggett, founder of the United Drug Company (Rexall), that rather than asking thousands of cash-strapped Rexall druggists to come to a national convention -- he could simply take the national convention to them!

"From that, the Rexall Train was born."

Which is part of a larger site about other trains with "themes."

Rexall train = pure genius.
I wonder what was wrong with Nevada? No Rexall store?

If I remember correctly, you're right, Nevada didn't have a Rexall or had only one. **!!2cents!!**
