"The Orient Express, the first train to connect Europe and the gateway to the East and the incarnation of all the desires and fantasies associated with it, was an immediate success. Quickly becoming known as 'the king of trains, the train of kings,' it became a legend in its own lifetime. Thirty years after its final journey, Orient Express opens up previously unpublished archives and the doors to the restoration workshops, where the hsitoric carriages, witnesses to this mythical story, are being brought back to life..."--Page 4 of cover.
