I'll post this here to start. If it's more appropriate elsewhere, so be it. A creative interactive Washington Post story about a cross country train trip on the Zephyr and Lake Shore Limited. Hopefully the link provides free access; if not, my apologies.

I thoroughly enjoyed that!

Here's a "gift" link, in case anyone has trouble with the direct one:

Yes, that was quite the entertaining "graphic essay". I highly recommend reading it if you have access to the Post.

I especially liked the cartoon depictions of spaces we are all familiar with such as Roomettes, Cafe car, etc. Useful comparisons between sleeper and coach travel also.

I had to use the 'reader' mode.
People seem to respond to those kinds of graphics. Kind of like comic books, I guess.
