Velvet Rails (Grand Train Travels)

Velvet Rails explores the renewed appeal of long-distance train journeys as a form of slow, considered travel. Across twenty carefully selected routes, the book looks at how interiors, service, and ritual reshape our experience of movement and time. Through immersive photography and reflective essays, trains are read as moving rooms and cultural spaces—places where attention shifts, landscapes unfold, and the journey itself becomes the destination.
