The Art Deco style and grandeur of The Durham Museum was the perfect setting for our fashionable homage to the golden age of train travel. In the ’30s and ’40s, stylishly dressed travelers filed through the halls of this former Union Pacific station to board gleaming railcars, sometimes headed to cities in the East for work, other times traveling on holiday. It’s a bygone era when rail travel was a glamorous event, worthy of dressing one’s best.
