“But even such larger-than-life personalities take a back seat, or maybe a second-class compartment, to set designer Sean Fanning's arresting conception of the 20th Century, the real-life luxury train that ran for decades between Chicago and New York. A series of period-perfect drops depicting the train's exterior rise to reveal an exquisitely detailed cutaway interior, complete with multiple connecting doors to speed along the slapstick.” -James Hebert, San Diego Union-Tribune
