It's the NS locomotive with the "mane" scheme next to the appropriate Sonic Hedgehog.
David needs to realize that what is plainly obvious to him isn't always plainly obvious to others.
In this case, the older you get, the less likely you would be to get the association.
I remember from when NS first did this that some were making the comparison.
But it took several minutes of searching for me to come up with the Sonic Hedgehog name again.

I got the reference with the various Sonic characters and different loco designs, neat enough. Now, I wouldn't say seeing this made my day though, lolz.

Better than watching the freezing rain outside :P

DC, no need to apologize. Just remember to consider the target audience when taking shortcuts.
And that applies to more than just this forum.

I recognize Sponge Bob. A real popular figure with the munchkins that rode my school bus.
Sonic Hedgehog, not so much.
