Murder on the Bertram Flyer on August 22

JR Luling is a ruthless oil and cattle magnate in Central Texas. His father built the family fortune in the cattle business. JR was lured into the oil business shortly after the Spindletop well was successful in 1901. The oil town of Luling is named after his family. He is traveling on the train tonight with his girlfriend, Crystal Lear. Also on the train are his ex-wife LuEllen Luling, the Baroness de Bastrop, JR's long suffering brother Rupert, and other assorted characters.  Before the night is over it may be up to you determine WHO SHOT JR?

The train departs at 7pm, for a three hour round trip ride that includes a light dinner, sodas, beer and wine.
