Train travel in America began in the early 1800s, bringing speed and wonder to a country on the move. With the rhythm of wheels on rails, it connected small towns to great cities and opened the vast frontier to dreamers and pioneers. More than just transportation, trains became a symbol of adventure, freedom, and the promise of new beginnings across the American landscape. Historically, baskets were a common sight on trains and in bustling train stations. They carried goods being shipped across the country and held passengers’ personal belongings—sometimes even a carefully packed lunch for a long day of travel. Woven with purpose, these baskets were quiet companions on countless American journeys. The Longaberger 2025 Railway Collection brings the nostalgia of those golden days of train travel into the 21st century with three stylish, hardworking baskets inspired by the timeless charm of railway life. Thoughtfully designed to echo the utility and romance of vintage travel, each piece is a tribute to the baskets that once carried goods, personal treasures, and packed lunches across the country—now reimagined for today’s journeys. Woven in classic black with vintage accents, the Railway Parcel Basket features two swinging handles and a protective insert, combining style with versatility. Measuring 14.5”L x 10.5”W x 7.5”H, it includes a gold metal tag reading Longaberger 2025 Railway—a nod to timeless travel. Perfect as a pantry or kitchen organizer, craft and hobby tote, guest room welcome basket, towel holder, or even a charming picnic companion. Each basket includes a custom protector, proudly made in Dresden, Ohio. Our protectors are BPA-free, food-grade safe, and designed to extend the life of your basket while providing a durable, healthy option for daily use.
