Had the priveledge of a double trip last year on the occassion of my 50 th birthday, what a treat! The staff go out of their way to spoil you rotten! I had such a great time time I still dream about it, Eat, drink sleep,eat,drink,sleep......

The people working for this rail line have fabulous jobs! I'm envious and can only wish I could.

Looks lovely. I realise this is probably a personal choice, but for me I'd like to see steam locos in stead of electric engines - it just ads to the romantic atmosphere of the experience.

The Orient Express management should've come to this part of the world to see what a luxury train consists of. For example, the Orient Express doesn't have SHOWERS (duh!) but the Blue Train does. How on any can any travel be made enjoyable without the benefit of bath and/or showers?

@ccaammiiittoo1 ..That is not quite true, Orient Express does have showers, but not in individual compartments:

[ccaammiiittoo1]

@82648947 That's encouraging!

I wish we had trains like this in America! There's nothing to compare to this anywhere else in the world!

[ccaammiiittoo1]

@TagsNOLA You must be quite young. Throughout the 20's through the 40's, The Twentiety Century Ldt. held sway as the Queen of the Railroads. Luxury par excellence! The Santa Fe/Superchief came later and provided the same type luxury. In fact, those Hollywood stars travelling aboard the SuperChief from Chicago to Los Angeles could find their luster as stars tarnished by forgetting to detrain not in downtown Los Angeles but Pasadena, my deah!

@ccaammiiittoo1 Yes there was a "guilded age" of trains in America. But since the airlines supplanted rail rfor inter-city travel, those trains are relics of a by-gone era.

[ccaammiiittoo1]

@TagsNOLA What imply you! That by extension I'm a relic from the by-gone days? Look hear. We've not properly met. The nerve of some people! On a serious, though, it was a glorious age. And you know, there were so many, some all Pullman coaches. And then God created Amtrak! Need I say more?

[TagsNOLA]

@ccaammiiittoo1 No Sir, nothing more need be said. ;)
