Most of the board games here represent the advancement of riding the rails: fast, comfortable and streamlined. Names like “Silver Streak” and “Rocket” conjured up speed. “Sunset Limited” and “The 20th Century Limited” had this type of designation because they were overnight trains with few stops along the way which was an advantage for a business traveler.
