Time Out Great Train Journeys of the World

by Time Out Guides (Editor), Peter Lynch (Contributor)

This lively guide takes an in-depth look at 40 of the world's best train journeys, from short to long, luxurious to decidedly less so, nostalgic steam lines to the latest high-tech locomotives. Covering a variety of reader interests, the book is divided into inspiring sections such as Crossing Continents, State of the Art, Cultural Experiences, Nostalgia, and Scenic Spectaculars. Every journey includes a bells-and-whistles fact box giving useful and amusing insider tips — what to pack, the best photo-ops, maximizing the best the trip has to offer, and more. All journeys are planned as complete vacations and offer suggestions for memorable side trips. Featuring stunning photographs throughout, Time Out Great Train Journeys is as beautiful as it is practical, and is an indispensable reference for any rail buff.

I really enjoyed this book in which many great train journeys are described. Its a book to inspire people with ideas for future travels and is well written with nice pictures. I like how each journey was written as the experience of it and the cultural aspects of what the journey might entail. I really want to do some of the journey's described and one day I really hope I will.
