The classic railway the Orient Express has been featured in loads of films throughout the years, and is often the image we have of what train travel used to be. Although the train was the absolute luxury. Introduced in 1883 from Paris, and then with boat the last bit to Constantinople, today's Istanbul. The train reached its peak in the 1930s, but later got more and more competition from air travel. But it wasn't until 2009 that the last fragments of the classical rail line was finally closed down #orientexpress #wagonlits
