Luxury trains have always fascinated and excited our imagination. A great source of style, romance and exoticism, they have long played leading roles in literature and Hollywood movies.
This wonderful book evokes long-lost days of travel, where trains marked international railway history, from the Orient Express to the Train Bleu. Today, railway companies around the world are creating new palaces on rails, and these pages offer a journey into that extravagant and luxurious world. Whether comfortably seated in the dining car of the Venice Simplon - Orient-Express as it passes by the Venetian lagoon, traveling through the Scottish Highlands on the famous Royal Scotsman, or admiring the ancient splendors of Machu Picchu in the Hiram Bingham bar aboard the Andean Explorer, this book travels the world in celebration of these wonderful locomotives.
A magnificent gift for travel enthusiasts and anyone interested in the decadent features of these trains.
