Today: Top 10 greatest train rides in the world<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The lure of rail travel has always had a romantic and adventurous air. In addition,\u00a0train travel represents one of the most laidback ways\u00a0of getting around, allowing you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. Some\u00a0train rides are so spectacular – traversing the world’s most scenic destinations<\/a> along snow-capped peaks or through orange-hued deserts – that they represent epic destinations in their own. Here’s my selection of the 10 most amazing train rides in the world.<\/p>\n

There is more information below the slideshow. Think I\u00a0missed one? Share your favorite train journey\u00a0in the comments section<\/strong>, or take my\u00a0poll<\/strong>\u00a0below!<\/p>\n

10. DENALI STAR, ALASKA, USA<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Denali Star, the Alaska Railroad’s flagship train, links Anchorage to Fairbanks with stops in Wasilla, Talkeetna and Denali Park. On this route, sparkling salmon streams and stands of birch and spruce come into view, while carpets of fireweed add dramatic purple to the landscape. Like the name implies, Denali National Park – one of the\u00a0most spectacular National Parks in the USA<\/a> – is really the star attraction of the Alaska Railroad’s Denali Star Route. You might get lucky and see a bear, moose or caribou. And look out for what native Alaskans call ‘The Great One’: the 20,156 feet (6,144 m) tall Denali (previously know as Mt. McKinley), the highest mountain peak in North America.<\/p>\n
