Thanks for the video.  Those stainless steel cars look really clean.  Timeless, actually.  Now if only they were scheduled for an interior deep clean and some new interior fabrics/colors.

Shave and a haircut has been around for a long, long time.

Us 'older folk' remember well the 'dispute' about Bo Diddley using 'Shave and a Haircut' as the 'melody' for his hit record of 1955..."Bo Diddley".  Here it is on Ed Sullivan.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJj22Z006ec   Listen to the drummers' beat.

For reasons unknown, this link to Youtube does not show up as a 'hot link'.   I've tried 7-8 times now including delete post and start over... You'll have to cut and paste it into your browser address bar.
