 introduction

Professor Dopidad is a college professor on sabbatical to write about the Night Train’s journey. 

“The Chicago Central Depot? Ah, yes - just as it was described - a castle, with towers and spires, befitting the lordly George Pullman! An American flag flies above. What a sight! I'll have to use that in my book. Trains, trains, trains! Glorious trains!”
