AFLAC commercial - what locomotive?

There's a new AFLAC commercial out, with a steam engine in it. It's filmed like an old silent film, in B&W.

Was this filmed recently at a museum somewhere (and if so, which museum and which locomotive was used) or did they take an old movie and CGI it up to include the duck?

I thought I saw 28 on the cab for a moment. Possibly this locomotive?

Yes, it is Sierra 28.

Filmed on the Sierra, April 2005.

It's a great commercial (even if it's a little hokey). I knew the vast knowledge of RYPN could help. Thanks everyone.

That engine has been in so many movies, TV shows and commercials it should be a member of the Screen Actor's Guild.
