[QUOTE="driver8, post: 2159280, member: 17559"] Are the wizards of high enough level to create a delay on the railhead? Illusionary trains clogging the tracks, or even illusionary herds of cattle (this is 19th century Texas after all) on the tracks blocking it, for those not able to see though the ruse. Also, could the wizards not cast a spell to change the gauge (the width of the train track rails) causing the train to derail? Differing train gauges were a problem in the US in the earlier part of the 19th century when local train systems could connect with other neighborig systems. Vice versa, the PCs could maybe do this to the wizards. If the wizards have enough coin could they have it loaded on another train and go north or even go by wagon? As for a good spot for the Foreign Legion how about El Paso? Its on the Texas /New Mexico/Mexico borders and surely had a rail route..although a US Army base would havebeen nearby- Fort Bliss. There could be other routes as well Im sure. The Gadsen Purchase was put through by the US beacuse of the railroads, so some rail routes went through southern Arizona/New Mexico. And the border there would be pretty open. [/QUOTE]
