About The Golden Age of Rail
There is a particular kind of travel that no jetway or highway has ever quite replaced — the hiss of steam rising from beneath a locomotive, the deep-throated whistle echoing across an open plain, the gentle sway of a Pullman car as the landscape rolls past the window. The Golden Age of Rail gathers the whole world of it: the grand depots with their vaulted ceilings and marble floors, the railroad crews who kept the iron road running through every kind of weather, the famous named trains that turned a journey into an occasion. You'll find the California Zephyr threading through mountain passes, the Orient Express conjuring intrigue and elegance, and the Transcontinental Railroad — hammered spike by spike across a continent — sitting alongside the everyday poetry of steam, smoke, and steel. Pick any puzzle that calls to you and take your time with it.
