Map description:  	An Orient-Express type train map where the train moves along a track, then stops after 5  minutes at a train station.


This is a map with large amounts of detail.  It runs very well on high-end machines.  If you run it on an older computer, you may have slow down and packet loss.  R_speeds climb into the low 1000's and framerates may drop.  This is an eye-candy map.  

This train will give you the illusion of movement.  After 5 minutes of shaking, passing telephone poles outside windows, train sounds, a train whistle, and moving pictures on walls, all movement will stop, 2 doors will open, and you'll be able to go in and out of the train into a train station.  There are 2 secrets in the map, and 3 rats in the map.

=======================================================

Notes of thanks:
To babykitkat...thank you for the creation of such an awesome map.  It was your hard work in finding the correct colors, textures, lights, and ideas.  It was an honor building this map for you and with you right at my side.  I love you, my awesome wife!

To Leperous:
So many thanks for the information and all the help you gave me at the SnarkPit forums when trying to figure out the info_player_deathmatch spawn delay.  Your help was invaluable and gives the map the total feel I wanted from the get-go.  Thanks Lep, you rule!!  Also want to thank Gollum and Cash Car Star for their invaluable help in trigger_auto to stop and start an ambient generic.

To qUiCkSiLvEr and the USA Team:
Quick, you are an awesome man with such talent.  You are such a great map tech...your help with the overviews, opinions, and friendship mean very much to me.  Thank you!  Thanks too, to the USA Team who looked over and helped polish the map.   Quick set up a 24 hour server to beta the map with his team.  THANK YOU!!!

To [VDC] Voodoo Child and our group of Lounge Lizards:
Thanks goes out to [VDC] Voodoo Child, [VDC] Bodhi,  An]-[uR, Dan, RadBrad,
[VDC] Havoc, DiScOuNt KiLlEr, Viper, Slow Poke , [S*N*M] LuKe_SKywalker and RASATABaboo (also thanks for the fog dragon included in the map) for doing the hard run and frag through the map.
