Erie Railroad (CR, EMD) was key to economic development along the Southern Tier, which includes Binghamton and Elmira, N.Y. In 1851, Secretary of State Daniel Webster was strapped to a rocking chair on an open flatcar, wrapped in a blanket and clutching a bottle of rum, so he could ride the just-completed railroad.

Too much slack in the couplers led to Daniel being off his rocker.

Very funny, Eric. I almost fell off my chair!
Hw about a TankTrain with pipes that turn into straws?
Or, if that sounds gross, how about a TankTrain terminal with refrigerated storage tanks piped to a tap (or two)?
Or, if less jovial critics interfere, disguise the tap(s) as trackside water towers, storage tanks, or buildings with one or two SPECIAL downspouts that have just enough room for a mug underneath.

Good idea. Maybe have smoke coming out of his ears and sound of him howling at the moon

Excellent idea, although the liquor train tangents are also appealing. I like the idea of animating the rocking chair. Throw in a random appearance by the Devil and the appropriate voice-overs and I think you've got a winner there!
