The Train Rush began life as a short form podcast in which the hosts discussed a single ‘train game’ (primarily, but not exclusively, from the 18XX family) they had played in the preceding fortnight.
Since 2020, The Train Rush offers a thoughtful exploration of salient titles or topics within the genre of train games, with episodes released when the hosts have something to say and lasting as long as it takes them to say it.
Rich descriptions, zen reflections and meandering musings often feature. Empirical ratings (mostly) do not.

...featuring FIRST IMPRESSIONS! A COMPETITION! CELEBRITY GUESTS! SOME SORT OF LIST! POPULAR CULTURAL REFERENCES! AND MORE!
A year's worth of episodes in ONE EPISODE, (hence it's in three parts). Lubricate your ear holes and buckle up for the BIGGEST train game podcast experience of the year (if measured by compound file size). Highly recommended you don't attempt to ingest this in one sitting, hence the detailed show notes, available here:

Stereo version also hosted exclusively on the website, if you want to appreciate the full soundscape Joe has lovingly put together.
