"Tous à bord! All aboard!" one of the stewards call out as the elite and the last of the well-to-do passengers are aided in boarding onto the world renowned Orient Express.

For the next three days or so, the train with softly rattle its way through seven countries as it moves its passengers from Paris to Istanbul before making a return trip. A luxurious and comfortable travel many can only envy.

A young woman oversees a steward carefully stacking her large assortment of hatboxes she simply must see are treated properly. A gentleman puffs on a pipe as he settles into the smoking room and unfolds a news paper. The children of a duke have their faces press to the glass in one of the cars as their nanny tries to usher them into their seats to prepare for departure.

Excitement and luxury in equal measure. And as the train starts to slowly move along the tracks, picking up speed, there's no telling what stories will be made within its cars.
