I love trains and travel by train at every opportunity. The Canadian from Toronto to Vancouver, the Eurostar from London to Paris, the mighty Indian Pacific from Adelaide to Perth. So…I was thrilled to hear that Everett Potter had just written a big and comprehensive book about trains, 100 Train Journeys of a Lifetime: The World’s Ultimate Rides.
Let me tell you a little about Everett Potter. He writes for numerous A-list publications like The Wall Street Journal, Conde Nast Traveler, Forbes, National Geographic, and he hosts Everett Potter’s Travel Report, a highly acclaimed digital site. He is also the expert host on select National Geographic Expeditions Train Journeys.
I was pleased to hear Everett say that train travel (especially overnight trains) is becoming hugely popular, especially in Europe. Perhaps it’s the convenience of traveling from city center to city center. Perhaps it is the romance of historic journeys inspired by Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express. Yes, there still is an Orient Express—two of them, in fact. Very luxe.
