Episode Description
In 1882, the tiny desert settlement of Marfa, Texas, welcomed the railroad with roasted goat, a brass band, and a few barrels of “mysterious” beer. That first train wasn’t just about tracks and cargo — it was the beginning of a community’s identity. In this episode of The T-Chromosome Daily, Tweed reminds us that sometimes you don’t wait for perfect — you celebrate the first step and trust that good things will grow.
Show Notes
Today’s nugget takes us back to the dusty plains of West Texas, where a little town called Marfa celebrated its first train like it was the Fourth of July. That celebration didn’t just welcome the Southern Pacific Railroad — it marked the birth of a future that would eventually carry Marfa from a whistle stop to a world-famous hub.

Key Takeaway:
Sometimes you’ve got to throw the party first. Celebrate the start, no matter how small, and trust that the tracks you’re laying may lead to something big.
