Train Travel in Fallstead

Travelers entering or leaving Springreach by land most often walk through the vaulted marble hall of Springreach Station to catch a train on the Continental Railway. The station has a beautiful and intricate giant clock in the marble floor, protected by glass so that travelers can see the cogs turning as they walk towards their train. Travelers can also shop for gifts and souvenirs, pick up a book or a copy of the Springreach Gazette, sit down for lunch at the Bistro, or grab coffee, a sandwich, or pastries to go before leaving the station. It's not uncommon to see citizens of Springreach enjoying the grandeur of the station, taking a seat simply to people watch. But in terms of travel, nothing beats the Continental Railway. All aboard!
