I got these cards because I grew up with an affinity for trains and I was blown away by the quality of what I received. The artwork on the cards, both back and front, are very well done. Using historical figures related to the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad for the figures on the face cards was a nice touch. The two bonus cards that, when put together, recreate the portrait of the driving of the golden spike was an outstanding touch. As with the Kodiak set that I got as well, the construction of the cards is phenomenal. They shuffle extremely well, don't bend or deform easily, and they're extremely pleasant to work with. Very well worth the money and I'm going to order another deck that will remain unopened as a keepsake.
