Train Conductor Leads Yale Glee Club In An Epic Performance On His Train (Video)

by Taylor Ortega

YALE ROLLS DEEP AND HARMONIOUSLY ON PUBLIC TRANSIT. JUST ASK BOB.

I clearly didn't go to Yale, but neither did Bob McDonough, and he still lived his dream of conducting more than just majestic trains.

When McDonough discovered the Yale Glee Club was on his train, the conductor fulfilled his job requirement in every sense of the word.

Not only did I have "The Yale Glee Club" riding my train into NYC on Friday, but later that night they were on my train back home to New Haven. I told them I was a conductor, so I must conduct...and somehow they bought it . Did I mention they go to YALE? Thank you to Greg Suralik (class of '17) and Nolan Crawford, for recording and emailing your videos to me. Posted by Bob McDonough on Monday, December 7, 2015

Yes, Bob, you did. The Metro-North rail rider did a bang-up job of conducting, but that's what the Yale Glee Club gets when they ride with a pro.
