      Surprisingly Luxurious Train Rides
      By Forbes Travel Guide Editor Hayley Bosch

      June 18, 2012

      Traveling by train may not sound like a dream summer vacation, but there are a few locomotive trips that are surprisingly luxe. From a scenic ride along British Columbia’s Pacific Coast to a classic trek on the train that inspired Agatha Christie’s legendary mystery novel, Forbes Travel Guide uncovered a few great trains to board this summer. Go to Forbes.com to see our picks. But first, check out the slideshow below to take a peek inside Rovos Rail’s Pride of Africa train, which chugs from Cape Town to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

      About Forbes Travel Guide Editor Hayley Bosch

      Majoring in French and Italian in college yielded some of the best food (in my own humble opinion) and vacations (everyone wants to travel with someone who’s fluent) that I could imagine. And as a Content Editor at Forbes Travel Guide, I’m able to focus on my passion for traveling and eating — with a refined palate, of course. I love to write about my adventures; it’s a way of telling my story. I seek out everything from marathons in cities I’ve never explored to restaurants off the beaten path. When I’m not eating my way through my world travels, I’m chatting with our Tastemakers to help tell their stories of travel, food and business.
