1x03 American Orient Express

  • 2000-06-03T04:00:00Z1h

Discover the world’s most luxurious trains and relive a bygone era, when the journey itself was the most significant part of the experience; rather than simply getting there. A journey where the passenger becomes a real traveler and is able to experience the much more gracious way of travel - in a living recreation of the golden age of rail. The American Orient Express is a privately owned company and no relation to the British owned Orient Express. The train is a collection of cars that were purchased from museums and private collections throughout America. With nine exciting itineraries, the journeys trace jazz and blues to their origins in New Orleans, through the National Parks of the Pacific Coast, from hushed canyons to boiling mud pots, keeping the tradition of the golden age of rail with luxury and style.
