Hopping Aboard The Sharof Rashidov Train

Maybe the highlight at the Sharof Rashidovich Rashidov Museum in Jizzakh, Uzbekistan is a curious train car out back. It's Rashidov's own rolling party bus, a way to get around in luxury and comfort. A quick tour inside gives a good impression of how to travel in First Secretary style.

The train car. What can green do for you?

Support staff. Burly bodyguards and naughty nurses. You never know what you'll need.

The kitchen, cooking with gas. And a cute record player. Suck it, bluetooth.

Support staff bunking. Four beds, one radio, true diplomacy in station selection. Conductor bed, bright uniform.

Dining, meeting room. TV for boredom reduction. "These five year plan reports are putting me to sleep, can't we watch the latest episode of Tashkent Vice?"
