It was Van Horne's dying wish that his body be carried
within a special funeral car attached to The Boundless.
Crossing and re-crossing the continent on the rails he helped lay.
Forever.
The funeral carriage is impregnable, welded together from plates of battleship
steel, no windows, no doors. Inside is a mausoleum which contains the
sarcophagus of Cornelius Van Horne -- and, rumour has it, other things of great
value. When at rest in a station, a guard stands watch over the car. To make it even more inviolable, the exterior is electrified with a high voltage
current. Anyone touching it would be electrocuted.
There is a key that turns
the electricity on or off, and only the guard has one...
And one other person
aboard The Boundless....
