T his isn't just any train station. This is the destination of the famed rail experience known as the Orient Express. This train brought opulence in travel to a level not matched until the unveiling of the Queen Elizabeth and later the Concorde. It quickly became the stuff of myth and legend, immortalized in countless films, books, and other bits of popular culture. The train was the project of Belgian businessman Georges Nagelmackers. It ran the 1,700-mile route from 1889 to 1977. The Orient Express was revived in 1982 by an American businessman and runs various routes that include London and Venice, but not in the same grand style as before.

• The station was built for La Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits et des Grands Express Européens
