The scene opens with a non-descript office with a desk and chair being the focal point.
A Nattily dressed man with 1940s-50s garb enters the scene, sits on the edge of a desk, lights up his cigarette, and begins to speak...
"Joe Trainzer has just finished posting his latest thread foaming about GEVOS, CSX, BNSF, NS and fictional Class I railroad branches. Poor Joe has no idea how grand railroading was in the past, before modern days wiped out some of the greatest railroads in the world.
"What Joe Trainzer did not know was that a freak thunderstorm produces a bolt of lightning that strikes the power line outside his home."
"The electrical surge strikes our hapless Trainzer, transporting him in time and space...."
"You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Retro Railroading Zone!"
