Travelogue on the Train Excursion Experience
A vivid, if fragmentary, account of a cross country excursion by rail. Passengers describe crowded berths, the mix of cheerful travelers, and the uneasy chatter of ticket agents amid delays at Hannibal and other stops. The piece notes optimism for American vacations and references a Richmond sale and a Rosekown Cemetery in a nostalgic travel context.
