Subject: RE: Jingles you remember.
Oh, we've got boxy cars for boxes,
Commuter trains for Dans
Parlor cars for ladies,
Money-saving plans
On the Long Island Railroad (BOAARD!)

Incomplete, and probably imprecsie, but 'twas sung by Oscar Brand and ran on radio in NY for years.
Dans was short for Dashing Dan, the LIRR's cartoon logo ("The Route of the Dashing Commuter")
