The Meridian — Visual Map

A schematic of the train, drawn from the pinned carriages in the carriage map. The engine is forward (left); numbers climb toward the rear (right); the closer to the front, the wealthier and warmer. Marked carriages are the ones the books have actually fixed — hover for detail.

The Meridian, front to rear. Engine forward; numbers climb toward the rear; the closer to the front, the wealthier and warmer. Hover a marked carriage for detail, or read the full carriage map.
