Very odd.

[landman]

I think it is the bacon car.

[Ace-Garageguy]

It is obviously the father of Macy's Pink Pig monorail that ran on the roof of an Atlanta department store in the '50s and '60s. Really.

                                                                                  

It was known to have had alliances with females of several other mechanical species, and to have sired multiple offspring with them as well.

Is there any logic to Macy's having a pink pig monorail? I mean as opposed to say, a yellow duckie monorail? Is there a story behind this?

[Ace-Garageguy]

Here's the story. Macy's owns the thing now, but it was originally a piece of publicity done by the then-Rich's store, before the Macy's consolidation. The publicity guy came up with a small train that ran in the toy department around Christmas and called it "Priscilla the Pig".  Only he would know why "pig" and not "duck". Apparently it just morphed on its own the rest of the way. You know how pushy pigs can be.

That's a pretty crazy explanation. Not sure if I can believe it or not.

Boy, this is the perfect opportunity to sit back, have a Maple Bacon Bear Claw and enjoy "The Three Little Pigs", as retold by Brother Theodore.

Here's a picture of the pig bus which is a common site in my area. It's parked in various places for advertising the diner.
