SIEMENS Exider, A worldwide show on rails!!

The first corporate exhibit to ever travel the entire planet in a train no less. A show for clients of Siemens Energy & Automation it arrived from China by way of Europe & Russia to North America. By AIR! Yes this train was flown into the country to Milwaukee's airport then brought to Chicago. It showed at McCormick Center's show floor first. 

14 containers on flat-bed rail cars formed the self-powered trade show, with displays & product simulations, a lounge, 3D-movie theater and generator...all running on 220 Volts!

Stops in 16 cities around North America beginning in the Midwest, then East Coast going South to Mexico and finally the Western US and Canada. Also going undergound to New York's Grand Central!!

We researched locations around the country, negotiated with rail roads, signed numerous contracts, moved the train, built gravel roads along the track, staged opening events, hired greeters, stage hands, caterers, tents and display ...well ultimately managed this BIG endeavor. Our German client & crew of OSK kept the train humming and 'in shape'. Not your everyday project...but one for the books!
