My favorite train, for examole, is thought to be one of the best in the world, so I had little difficulty in choosing it. As well as being my favorite, The Blue Train is also the pride of South Africa's railways. One travels between Oretoria and Cape Town while the other travels between Pretoria and Durban. A few years ago, my wife and I spent two nights on board the Cape Town train, paying a fare of just over $2000 each. The 1300-foot-long train has 41 suites, where 82 passengers can stay comfortably. It was a unique experience and one I could happily repeat.
