Description
A sketch of the emotional baggage car. One of my favorite railroad songs is the ballad, "In the Baggage Coach Ahead." It is really something Zipporah would sing to explain why she's crying at a particular moment. The original recording is from 1896 [link] but I love Mac Wiseman's cover [link] (which unfortunately omits the second verse). My mom thinks it's strange that I like a tearjerker so much, but it's a really beautiful song (and I'm actually kinda happy that I have a StEx character who can sing it).

Cynthia: That didn't even happen to you.
Zipporah: I know. *sniff* It's just so sad.
