Rocky Mountaineer’s luxe train journeys take passengers through some of the continent’s iconic landscapes, like Ruby Canyon on the Utah-Colorado border.Whether it’s the Eurostar between Great Britain and Europe or the Shinkansen of Japan, train travel is attracting voyageurs as a relaxing, scenic and sustainable alternative to flying.
