Have students discuss how the dream of a transnational railway became, over time, a conduit for power and unmitigated growth. How does the film convey this sense of loss of control? Was there anything the collector could have done? What does this say about our own individual responsibilities? The collector simply wants to create a model train set. Can the impact of our individual aspirations be set apart from the world at large?
