Whoever did the poster probably hasn't ever seen a steam locomotive, perhaps 
even a long haul passenger train.

And you are correct. The first thing that caught my attention was the crease 
along the sides of the passenger coaches. Then there were details about the 
locomotive and tender, and then possibly details about the tracks. 

Whoever did this must have gone searching for an image of a passenger train 
unaware that there are distinct differences in other designs outside North 
America.
