Expressing a View
You ran an article about the American Orient Express trip through the Rocky Mountains (“On Different Tracks,” Sept. 10). I have looked at both the American and the original, Europe’s Venice Simplon-Orient Express, when planning summer trips. I thought it might be nice to roll through the Rockies.
However, I recently went on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, and I can tell you there is no comparison. There never will be a train greater than the VSOE. Comparing the AOE to the VSOE is like comparing a Rolls-Royce to a Lincoln Town Car.
