The morning sun glints off the brass buttons of doughboys boarding trains, their wool silhouettes sharp against the soot-stained station glass. Headlines scream of Director McAdoo clashing with Morgan over railroad interest rates, a financial tug-of-war echoing the larger chaos of the front.

Nearby, a newsie’s frantic shouting competes with the mournful whistle of a locomotive, both signaling a world being rebuilt in real-time.
