Reviews
“This near-two-hour compilation of high-definition-filmed episodes from the fifth season of the public television series Tracks Ahead documents some of the more unique travel-by-rail experiences across the world… Great Train Journeys kicks off with a ride on the classy Great South Pacific Express (also known as Australia’s Orient Express), featuring coaches decorated with custom stained glass and solid wood paneled walls, and staff hired not only for their skills as servers, cooks, and coach attendants, but also for their five-star personalities. Recommended for train aficionados and armchair travelers alike. Three Stars.” – Video Librarian
“… each segment is well edited and narrated, and you gain a lot of the information in a short period of time about each attraction. I’d suggest the segments are more for the average traveler than the average railfan, as the information is not too technical.” -S Gaugian
