Grand Train Travels
Velvet Rails explores the renewed appeal of long-distance train journeys as slow, considered travel. Across carefully selected routes, the book looks at how design, comfort, service, and hospitality shape our experience of movement and time. Through photography and essays, trains are seen as moving rooms and cultural spaces—places of attention, ritual, and atmosphere, where travel itself becomes the destination.
