I took the train in middle 1960’s from Northeast Mississippi to NYC, cured me of train travel.
The singer, Phoebe Snow, died recently, and the obituary said she took her name from “an advertisement she saw on a train”. Well, could be, but if so it was probably an ad for “The Phoebe Snow”, a train that ran from NYC ( I guess ) up through the Delaware Water Gap. I sixth grade our teacher took us on a field trip to ride it. She also took us to the old Met where we saw Rigoletto. I have to say I appreciate her efforts to show us the icons of a vanishing age, more so than I did at the time, of course.
