Imagine traveling on the legendary Orient Express from London to
Istanbul, the Transcontinental railroad across the Canadian Rockies, or
the Serra Verde Express through the Brazilian rainforest. In more than
200 superb photographs, Rail Journeys
takes you on expeditions through some of the world’s most unusual,
romantic, and remarkable landscapes. Experience the Coast Starlight,
which carries passengers from Los Angeles to Seattle along the Pacific
coast; the 4,350-mile Trans-Siberian Railway, spanning the entirety of
Mongolia and Russia from Beijing to Moscow; and “El Chepe,” the Mexican
Copper Canyon railway, a line that took 90 years to build and negotiates
87 tunnels, 36 bridges, and sweeping hairpin bends as it climbs from
sea level to rim-top views at 7,874 feet. Or enjoy the engineering
excellence of the Konkan Railway in India, connecting Mumbai with the
port of Mangalore via some 2,000 bridges and 90 tunnels; and the
Shinkansen “Bullet Train” as it races at speeds of more than 186 mph
between Tokyo and Kyoto, passing the iconic Mount Fuji on the way. Every
ride is an electrifying adventure!
