George sent in his railroad memory:

Nineteen sixty two I took my first train trip.  Over night from Buffalo to Louisville.  (basic training at Ft. Knox)

That was when I learned that when you lift the sink in a sleeping compartment,to dump the water, your razor, tooth brush and the water all end up on the tracks…..A mistake you only make once.
