If Hergé offered Tintin all kinds of means of transport, it is often on the platform of a station that his journeys begin. The train and its abundant universe occupy a special place in his work that this album highlights.
YVES CRESPEL is a professor of modern literature. He wrote several articles in the magazine Les Amis d’Hergé and produced a slideshow to illustrate his conferences on the theme of Hergé, Tintin and trains presented with Benoit Verley and Jean Michel Petit, now deceased.
BENOÎT VERLEY spent his career at SNCF as an engineer in the Rolling Stock Department. His interest in railways and his knowledge of the work of Hergé naturally led him to present, with his friends Jean-Michel Petit and Yves Crespel, several conferences on the subject. It was therefore together that they participated in the development of this album.
EMMANUEL COLLET is editor of the text of the audio guide offered to the Train World public. It is in this capacity as a specialist that he participated in aligning the content of the album with the Train World exhibition.
Co-published by Moulinsart and Casterman, on the occasion of Train World in Brussels in 2015.
