No details are known, but it could be anything from some promotional tie-in with a train service, to possibly a reissue or new version of the combiner.
I'm personally hoping for a new version of the combiner (either like the Voyager & Deluxe combiners or like the Titan sized combiners). A reissue would be great too.
I am hoping it's not simply some promotional event / tie-in with a rail service.
