Director: Robert Garofalo

Summary: A documentary that follows the cross country trail of an American rail company whose purchase of antique rail cars and mimicry of that bygone era of civilised rail travel - when the journey was thought as great an experience as the one enjoyed at the journey's destination - have made for a popular holiday and a lucrative business. The American Orient Express travels through America's national parks and traces the story of blues and jazz back to New Orleans.

Catch a glimpse of the past as seen though the windows of a rolling museum of steam and steel. This series travels the paths of the world's most luxurious trains and resurrects a bygone era when the journey--rather than the destination--was the most significant part of the experience. This volume follows the American Orient Express as it journeys from the smoky jazz quarters of New Orleans to the breathtaking national parks of the Pacific coast, evoking the traditions of the golden age of rail with luxury and style.
