The Orient Express Journey Begins: The World's Most Iconic Train | Full Documentary

Описание: Long before it became an icon of mystery and glamour in popular culture, the Orient Express was a groundbreaking achievement in European rail travel. The train made its first journey on June 5, 1883, running from Paris to Vienna, and just a few months later, on October 4, 1883, it launched its full service to Constantinople (now Istanbul), bridging the western and eastern edges of Europe. This documentary explores the vision of Belgian entrepreneur Georges Nagelmackers, who overcame near-bankruptcy and political resistance in the 1870s to realize a dream: a network of luxury night trains connecting Europe’s capitals. Discover the dramatic origins, engineering feats, and enduring legacy of the train that became a legend.
