Gee, the background music is familiar... can't put my finger on who made it, but I get the feeling they like the beans... 🤣🤣

The B-8 business car is a real survivor; especially after 1939. TM CRRM Member

Did Mark (Hyce) Huber do the music for this video? If so, he did a good job.

Look at the credits in the description

[@crystalrock18]

@@joeythecat7482 just did and I see his credit. Ever since YT redid their layout I don’t usually go through the description box.

This is really awesome history of business car B-8. It's really cool to learn the history about the old rolling stock.

Paul is so good at weaving the history of these cars into a complete story!

I really needed to know about business cars for a project I wanted to do. This is awesome and it's also super fascinating.

We have covered at least one or two other business cars in previous programs....here is one on the Rico - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2e9mXRspa6Gr7c

I have a employee timesheet from 1914 is it worth anything

[@straybullitt]

Sure, Pal! Just turn it in to the railroad paymaster at the end of the week, and you'll get paid. Don't worry about it. The railroad ain't gone broke yet! 🤠
