about

“Welcome to Accidental Railway”

In 1873, the town of Accidental Railway was founded by Sir Wayne C. Scot. Named after the various railway stations that link the small Burroughs of the town together (the founder's son Emirick, who died of juvenile hyaline fibromatosis, loved railways, and his father had them built as a life-sized homage to his son), Accidental Railway was, and still is, a leader in fine foods, tea and the arts. The waterway systems in AR make it unique and have been the source of much inspiration and joy – the floating theatre on the Muir River is a summer favorite amongst the young and the old. Many of the old theatres host to up-and-coming actors and musicians alike, and playhouses program unique retrospectives and specialty festivals like the popular "Stuffy British Film Festival" and the unique "Tea Party In the Sky": a hot air balloon fly by with passengers sampling fine teas and local delicacies at 1,300 feet.

These recipes and songs hail from the sweet little "Lemon & Ginger Café" that has been open since 1957 serving hot crisp ginger cookies and tart lemonade (amongst other delicious fare!). We hope that you enjoy some of the sounds and tastes from our little town and that you pay us a visit more than once.

See you in Accidental Railway,
Krista Muir

Great Granddaughter of the founder of "Lemon & Ginger Café."

"Accidental Railway" is a mostly acoustic multi-lingual pop gem sung in French, English and Greek. It takes the listener on a melodic journey exploring themes of travel, hope, love, and loss.

The trip down the Accidental Railway nearly killed me, but, as my mother always says to me "the show must go on!" And so it did, and here we are...

Tempo
by Dom La Nena

A melodic doorway into a faerie gathering - this album sparkles as it floats - dancing me into the woods. So delicate and familiar I love the feel of it...morning, noon and night. Si! Krista Muir

Man of Mystery [EP]
by A Montreal Paul

A riff popped into my head the other day and I realized that I was humming A Montreal Paul's Hazy As a Mellotron. Such a brilliant EP - it feels like summer. Krista Muir
