Wow, this is like the SteamGifts version of a concept album! I can't imagine how long it must have taken to research and set up. This was an awesome train to ride. Thanks for the nifty idea, the cool implementation, and the many awesome giveaways!

Awesome to see loads of people having fun with this one. Yep, it took a while, but it was good learning for me along the way too. The fact I like railways helps a bit ;)

One of those trains (called chepe) passes by a lot of awesome landscapes, it travels through almost the entire northern part of the country (The area is called the Sierra Tarahumara) :)

Under a rapidly darkening sky, the last of the evening sunshine threatened by gathering stormclouds, a living, breathing machine, covered in polished paint with gleaming copper and brass, stood at the head of a magnificent rake of luxury teak pullman railway carriages. This train had, as yet, no destination, for it was about to embark on a magical mystery tour around the world, visiting some of the most incredible and notable railway stations in existence. Indeed, it was no ordinary train either, coming equipped with not only special aquatic floats and jet propulsion drives to enable seamless land to water transition, but rubber road wheels for areas where railway was scarce.
The passengers were equally unaware of the final stopping place for this once-in-a-lifetime voyage which would cover thousands of miles on carefully laid steel rails, through some of the world's most treacherous but beautiful terrain. All those invited simply knew that they must go, through some mysterious force compelling them to board the train.
"All aboard", bellowed the conductor, dressed in the finest cut navy blue suit, complete with gold pocket watch and gold chain, and a highly secret working timetable in his upper pocket. "All aboard who's coming aboard" he yelled, as the locomotive gave a final whistle, before breathing a sigh of steam and hissing into life. The fireman wiped his perspiring brow, leaving black marks across his face, before once again opening the firehole door and heaving more coal onto the ever hungry furnace inside. The driver consulted his watch before settling down in his seat, watching for signals, and muttering, "yes, potato sandwiches again".

Enjoy an educational alphabetical worldwide tour of railway stations, where, on each stop, as well as learning more about each place, and not forgetting to look at the photos, you may just find the opportunity to enter a giveaway for a game starting with the same letter. Some games are luxury pullman class, others are more third-class, most are unbundled.
The train will reach its destination on Saturday 8th August, 6.00 p.m GMT.
This is to celebrate my reaching Level 5 :)
Commence your journey here (Level 2+ all games, and warning, lots of points may be needed)!

UPDATE: I have been blown away by the huge numbers of positive and fantastic comments on this train - I did not expect it would be so popular, so, a big thanks to all of you who have kindly left comments to say how much you enjoyed it. I might struggle in future to out-do this one though!
