[edit] American Orient Express

A documentary that follows the cross country trail of an American rail company whose purchase of antique rail cars and mimicry of that bygone era of civilised rail travel - when the journey was thought as great an experience as the one enjoyed at the journey's destination - have made for a popular holiday and a lucrative business. The American Orient Express travels through America's national parks and traces the story of blues and jazz back to New Orleans.
