Down Train from Calistoga
Partial Forward
The steam train, in a word, strikes the American people and by reflection their counterparts around the world as rail travel par excellence, and its characteristics, whether visual or auditory, appear to be fixed in our minds for all time.
Its disappearance in decades no longer recent may be compared to that of the sailing vessel. Both were often a stirring sight to see, firing the imagination like few things this world has ever known. Both were paragons of usefulness in their day, bringing the peoples of this manifestly westering nation ever closer together and upgrading their pursuit of ease and well-being, and both succumbed in the end to a form of motive power which, while admittedly less romantic, was more efficient and time-saving.
