I was partial to Ringo as Mr. Conductor.
My ex and I took him to his first few baseball games - the Mets at Shea Stadium. From our seats, you could see the Flushing Line subway line which, at the time, ran the old red bird cars.
Every time a train would pass, he would point and say Clarabelle and Annie. The rugrat turned into a Yankee fan in his old age and never really caught the train bug - there is no accounting for taste!!!
Hee!
The following comes under the heading of "Had to be done"...
