What a delightful drawing. As soon as the video finished it suddenly struck me that it looks like a religious service… which would make me wonder what role the tickets are playing! 🤣
When I was young, I traveled from Boston to South Bend, Indiana to visit a close relative then studying at Notre Dame. In those days (1970s) they placed the tickets overhead, and not on the seat backs. And of course every station has its own abbreviation, as airports do. So going to South Bend, I had the honor of riding for about 20 hours under a ticket that conspicuously identified me as "SOB". I was going to start the next sentence saying "It could have been worse..." but at the moment I can't think of what comparable thing that might be.

I loved this. Brought back childhood memories of riding the NY Central and seeing those little stubs sticking up! Thank you.
