To most of us the Orient express means a train where a Murder happened in an Agatha Christie novel. But the history of the Orient express is much longer than the popular detective novel or a movie. It’s origin is from Queen Victoria’s reign.

Famous European builder Georges Nagelmackers was inspired by cars used buy another US builder by the name of Pullman. Mr. John Pullman invented real railway luxury hotels to cross all the states from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Under patronage of Belgium King Leopold II, Nagelmackers started constructing his masterpiece hereafter called the Orient Express. In 1901, when Queen Victoria died, the cars were overcrowded with princes, noble people and kings. And, thus, the train justified its name: “a train of monarchy”.

It has vintageous cars and retro restaurants. At least you can take solace in that the USA was the motherland of True Orient Express Prototype.

Instead there is another long-distance passenger train called Venice-Simplon Orient Express. It is also a luxury VIP train but with less elegance than the most famous train in the world.
