Field notes
The page pairs an in-world timetable with crew profiles and a diagram-like account of the train’s cars. It says the party has six members, but only four enter combat; the other two are described as staying on the locomotive footplate. Between stations, the greenhouse restores the party, the kitchen provides a first-turn speed boost, and the workshop supports repairs. One sleeping-car resident, Vesna, grows flowers in her hair when the train enters a tunnel.
