What is it about trains?

The sounds of their wheels rolling on miles of tracks; creaks, squeals of metal, long, loud horns in the night… the sway and subtle rock of the car… it all rings of a promise. The possibility of adventure, romance, intrigue. A train is pure motion. They’re not meant to be idle, they bring you to places, some new, some old, all brimming with stories that have been and will be told.
