Were I her, I'd take the train which is a better and more comfortable way to travel. She could board the train at Pennsylvania Station, New York and read a magazine before reaching Baltimore. Dinner in the diner followed by a sleep. Nothing could be finer than a breakfast of ham and eggs in South Carolina and then on to Jacksonville. -
Pardon me Heinrich, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?Comment

I'm not actually 100% certain that happened. And not out of some misguided love of the TSA. This could totally happen. I just don't think it did this time. There are a couple of discrepancies that seem kind of fatal to the story.The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.Comment

As long as you're on track twenty-nine, it's the Chattanooga Choo-choo.
Reminds me of the old joke:
Roy Rogers had just purchased a new set of boots. Going out one day to check on Trigger, Roy stepped in a pile of ... well suffice it to say that Dale told him to leave his boots outside on the porch until he could clean them up. Roy did so and went inside for dinner. In the meantime a cougar wandering around on the property spied the boots, grabbed them up in his mouth and headed for the wilderness. Roy, seeing his new boots heading for the hills, pulled on a pair of old boots, ran out and saddled up Trigger and headed for the hills to cut off the escape path of the cougar. Several hours later Roy returned, new boots in hand and the cougar stretched over the back of Trigger. Dale looking at the scene in front of her said "Pardon me Roy is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?"ed your new shoes?" Answer: "Pardon me boys. Is that the Chatanooga Choo-Choo?" (From this site: http://www.dykerheights.com/jokes.html)
Someone liked the old joke enough to do a parody of the original Chattanooga choo-choo.

If Roy and Dale ever did have dinner in a train diner, I bet they would have finished up with some Jello Instant Pudding for dessert.

It is the "swellest" dessert, Heinrich.
