Almaty by lofi train

What you see from the train

Almaty is stop 33 of 62 on the route, between Samarkand and Ürümqi. The train arrives from Samarkand through desert, stops at an illustrated station with the city's name over the doors, potted plants and lamps along the platform, and leaves for Ürümqi through steppe. Inside the carriage nothing changes: Toffee keeps coding and Cloud keeps reading.

The Almaty track

Its station track is Almaty Approach, Dawn Peaks, named after the city and written for the minutes when the train pulls in.

Real local time and live weather

The light outside the window follows Almaty's real clock: day, dusk or night, depending on where the sun is over the city right now. The weather on the stream is the live weather there, so rain in Almaty means rain on the window. When the train is somewhere else on its 62-station loop, the mini-map shows where.
