In the March issue of "Trains" magazine, there's an article on the Kansas City Southern railroad. A photo on page 31 shows musicians playing on a train, with the following caption:
"During an outing for the Kansas City Symphony, musicians played on board the train to entertain guests. A former baggage car becomes a great venue."
The photo shows a fiddler, a banjo player, a mandolinist, a keyboardist, and someone with a drum. In addition, there are other mandolin family instruments in stands. One is either a mandolin or maybe a mandola. Another looks like a mando bass.
I'm curious if anyone who has seen the photo, or recognizes the circumstances above, knows any more about it (or, more specifically, the mando-related aspects of it). It strikes me that it must have been a noisy gig!
