EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in the enchanting 1920s, when the allure of the French Riviera beckoned, there existed an extraordinary means of transport that promised an unforgettable journey. Enter the Blue Train, a legendary railcar that whisked its privileged passengers away from the mundane and into a world of opulence and elegance. "Bleu as the Mediterranean sea, and as swift as the wind, the Blue Train dazzled with its sapphire-hued carriages, their interiors a symphony of art deco splendor, as captured in the intricate illustrations of Howard K. Elcock. "Aboard this floating palace, Joy Garden, a poet of the times, penned her ode to the Blue Train: Beneath the azure sky, the Blue Train glides, Through verdant lands, where sunbeams hide, A journey to the French Riviera, Where dreams and luxury collide. The Blue Train's carriages, a sight to behold, With plush interiors, a story to be told, Sleeper cabins, a haven of rest, Where dreams of the night are gently tossed. A dining car, a feast for the eyes, Where gourmet delights defy the skies, And the clinking of glasses, the laughter and cheer, Echo through the night, far and near. Oh, Blue Train, you're a sight to behold, A magical journey, a tale untold, Through the enchanting French Riviera, Your allure, an eternal affair." As the Blue Train sliced through the night, its passengers were treated to a world of luxury and wonder, their spirits lifted by the promise of a destination that awaited, as immortalized in the verses of Joy Garden and the captivating illustrations of Howard K. Elcock. Join us on this nostalgic journey, and let the Blue Train transport you to a bygone era, where dreams and reality intertwined, and the magic of travel was truly a work of art.
