After covering what passes for 'hawt news' in the world of train games, Dave and Craig discuss their impressions of Peer Sylvester's North American Railways, a train game you could actually play in the pub, albeit whilst attracting quizzical looks. 

Warning: Neue Heimat, a game in which no trains feature, may make a cameo appearance {GASP}

S01E02 - North American Railways - This Is Not (North) America

The Train Rush began life as a short form podcast in which the hosts discussed a single ‘train game’ (primarily, but not exclusively, from the 18XX family) they had played in the preceding fortnight.

Since 2020, The Train Rush offers a thoughtful exploration of salient titles or topics within the genre of train games, with episodes released when the hosts have something to say and lasting as long as it takes them to say it.

Rich descriptions, zen reflections and meandering musings often feature. Empirical ratings (mostly) do not.
