"Labiche! Here's your prize, Labiche. Some of the greatest paintings in the world. Does it please you, Labiche? You feel a sense of excitement at just being near them? A painting means as much to you as a string of pearls to an ape. You won by sheer luck. You stopped me without knowing what you were doing or why. You are nothing, Labiche. A lump of flesh. The paintings are mine. They always will be. Beauty belongs to the man who can appreciate it. They will always belong to me, or a man like me. Now, this minute, you couldn't tell me why you did what you did."
The Train (1964) Dir. John Frankenheimer

“You know what's on that train? Paintings. That's right, paintings. Art. The national heritage. The pride of France.”

Just throwing this out for the Infinity Train fandom, but what are some observations you’ve made/obscure or not well known trivia about the train that you find cool or wish the rest of the fandom talked about more?
To give an example of my own, one obscure detail I find intriguing is that the engine - according to the prop design artwork shared by Alen Esmalien - straight up doesn’t have a doorway for passengers that complete the first car in line to enter in the first place:
Which pretty much all but confirms the idea that the engine is not meant to be accessible to the average passenger at all - and by extension begs the question of who or what the absolutely gigantic space in front of One’s port was designed for:
What about the rest of you guys? I know there’s been a bunch of miscellaneous tweets Owen has put out over the years that touched upon the train and it’s denizens that fell into obscurity, so I’m interested to see what else comes up.

Tracks bursting through the floor of a house like veins upon ancient hands and the vessel they carry is a long and circumstantial womb whose blood inspires the lungs of the mind. And a singular gill emerges on your face, rippling over your nose, split open like a delightful wound and shining like the eyebeam of a Train. The perennial curtain of the Party obfuscates the presence of a Serpent in our midst; siphoning our memories away and incubating its own parasitic brood under the stairs.

The Train
The sll boys as a group call themselves 'the train' (an obvious play on 'the chain') because spirit said that they are like little carriges, totem with them three and force when he is split (spirit did have to explain to them what a train was first)
(Tbh it was just a tiny thought i had while first thinking up these boys that kinda stuck)

Photo
(via In Justine Kurland’s Photographs, a Mother and Son Hit the Road | The New Yorker)
In Justine Kurland’s “This Train,” a work of photography collected in a handsome edition by mack, we arrive at the fact of violence obliquely. The suite of photographs, which Kurland made during months living on the road between 2005 and 2011, is split into two parallel bodies of work.
In one, we encounter Kurland and her young son, Casper, as they traverse the U.S., mostly the West, in a van, stopping along the way in campsites and motels, forest clearings and desert brushland, gas stations and diners.
In the other, we see images of landscapes, riven by trains, which Kurland captured during these same travels.

Inspired by @borkthemork’s post on steam train boiler explosions and HBO’s Chernobyl:
For as long as it has existed, nothing could truly hope to stop the train in its tracks. Even for the disembarkation of passengers, the stillness would only last for a brief moments before vanishing - just long enough for a sigh of celebration, relief, or perhaps even mournful reminiscence.
When it comes to the train, this is simply how it was, is, and would be for the foreseeable future.
At least, for the next eight seconds.
