I found it interesting that the 1975 Pink Floyd album, Wish You Were Here uses the line "..they call it ridin' the gravy train..." in reference to Syd Barrett's departure from sanity.

Uh no, they're talking about a manager businessman type guy telling them they're going to be successful, hence "riding the gravy train"
