Track
11 - International Favorites
(Europe and Others)
Here I pay tribute to a very few of the
many, many
fine rail passenger services to be found outside of North America.
Instead of the Official Guide, my primary reference here is Cook's
Continental Timetable (and its successors, Cook's European Timetable
and Cook's Overseas Timetable). Many thanks to Thomas Cook,
Ltd., for giving me permission to reproduce their timetable information
here.
The Trains:
The Indian Pacific
The
Australian transcontinental flagship, connecting Sydney on the Pacific
coast with Perth on the Indian Ocean coast by way of Adelaide, in South
Australia. Indian
Pacific - May, 1988
The Lappland
Arrow (Lapplandspilen)

Circle) and Malmö, on the southern coast of Sweden. Operated by the
Swedish state railways. Lappland
