This is the Oriental tube cable car, heading eastward from Ciudad Eldorado, the capital of Rocaterrania, to Felsenbad, its second most populous city. In the 1970s, Premier Josip Wepka would update the cable railway with electric-powered locomotives, and extend the tube lines all the way to Issuskoye, Rocaterrania’s easternmost city. The updated underground system became known as the Metro.

Personal Significance:

Kuhler had a passion for trains from early childhood. His father Otto Kuhler was an industrial designer best known for his streamline steam locomotive and passenger car designs during the Art Deco Period. Otto was also a prolific artist, and his paintings, drawings, and etchings of steam locomotives—as well as industrial scenes and Western landscapes—are found in museums, galleries, and private collections throughout the U.S.
