American orient express – Heaven on wheels!

The American Orient Express was kind of a five-star hotel on wheels. It operated in United States and some parts of Canada and Mexico. A ride in American express was no usual train journey; you would experience an once-in-a-lifetime journey if you were on that train.

After several years of operation it was sold in 2007 to new owners and its name was changed to grand luxe Rail Journeys. The grand luxe Rail Journeys offered various packages in the comfy trains like: one night or two nights trips, honeymoon packages for couples etc.

The premier railway line offered a package of about 90 trains and special rates were available per person over the premier rail rides, which were offered on particular train rides beyond the American boundaries.

grand luxe Rail Journeys offered rail journeys from Washington D.C. and Miami West Palm Beach, Orlando to cities like Chicago and San Francisco. The y even offered special rides from Denver to San Francisco, Chicago to Washington D.C., Washington D.C. to Chicago and Chicago to Albuquerque.

In late August 2008, grand luxe Rail Journeys suddenly ceased operations and their  entire set of luxury train cars were put up for sale in September 2008.
