Photographers and rail fans alike won’t be disappointed as we spend the day traversing the entire rail line between Banks and Tillamook, a journey rarely available to the public. On board, enjoy a hearty lunch and afternoon snack, detailed area and railroad information presented by representatives from the Tillamook Forestry Center and local authors, and a chance to meet fellow railroad enthusiasts.

The premiere luxury train of North America, American Orient Express, has a new name and new destinations! Now called GrandLuxe Rail, passengers on board this beautiful train, reminiscent of a bygone era, now have the opportunity to travel in luxury through the Copper Canyon all the way to Mexico City! This is truly a monumental event in rail travel, and GrandLuxe has spared no detail in the planning of this journey. The flavors, color, and culture of Mexico come alive, whether you are buying authentic crafts from the Tarahumara Indians in the Copper Canyon, sunning on the beaches of Mazatlan, or exploring the ancient ruins of Teotihuacán. GrandLuxe will now offer continuous service along this line between October 29 and April 25, with early booking discounts if booked at least 6 months in advance. During the rest of the year, choose from 3 revised itineraries through the Central and Northwestern United States, including the ever-popular National Parks of the West, and the new Rockies, Sierras, and Napa tour.

Summer may be winding down, but many rail tour operators are getting ready for the Winter Season. Avoid the heat of summer by booking a journey through the Copper Canyon on the First Class ChePe. The train departs daily, so you can choose from over a dozen itineraries or customize your own to fit your time and budget. As well, both the Sierra Madre and the Expreso Maya luxury trains have itineraries that extend into December in Mexico.
If you are planning on traveling north instead, consider Rocky Mountaineer’s Winter Trains between Vancouver and Calgary in December. With itineraries from 2-9 days, enjoy the serenity of the snow-capped Rockies in both Red and Gold Leaf classes.
Remember, Australia and New Zealand are sunny side up November-February, so plan ahead for your rail journey “down under”, as our South Pacific train go into high season and book up quickly.
