About the Episode

From Buster Hymen, to Owney the Rail Mail dog, there’s nothing we love more than a story about a train. Join us as we embark on one more journey by rail.

In this episode, Sierra tells the story of yet another train freak, while Carmyn daydreams of union busting. You’ll learn how train whistles work, hear about a tiny town named Beyonce, and discover how overrated the Gold Rush was.
