Today’s ‘Best of’ is looking back at my four favourite ‘Train Journeys’. I’ll let you in on a secret – I think Train Journeys is my favourite segment I have written. Here are four amazing train journeys that if you’re in the region you simply must visit!
4. The Ghan – Darwin to Alice Springs
This amazing journey through the Australian outback goes from the northern capital south to Alice Springs in the centre of Australia, with a stop at Katherine. A brilliant journey!
One of the more unusual and least known rail journeys, my day on the rails in the West African country of Benin was unforgettable!
2. Kazakhstan – Almaty to Semey
What a wonderful experience and adventure it was taking the train through the Kazakh steppe!
This toy train up and down the mountain is brilliant. I mean, it’s a train in the Himalayas. And of course, it’s a steam train. Probably my favourite of all the journeys I’ve done. But boy there have been some amazing ones!
What’s YOUR most memorable train journey? Please do comment! And May the Journey Never End!
Andy's World Journeys 
I love train journeys. I haven’t done any of these but I have done the TASARA from Dar es Salaam almost to Lusaka. The India Pacific from Adelaide to Perth and also the train from Victoria Falls to Bulawayo…. and also lots of shorter journeys around Europe.
those african journeys sound amazing. now I am jealous!
Still can’t wait to tick The Ghan off my list 🙂
its awesome. Getting the upgrade to my own little cabin was well worth it
