Orient Express may get back on track again

PARIS - It conjures up the atmosphere of rail travel from a bygone golden age, steaming through Europe, experiencing top-notch cuisine and the company of fellow passengers who could be writers or spies.

And who knows, maybe a mysterious murder along the way deep in the night...

The last true Orient Express traveled from Paris to Istanbul in 1977, drawing the curtain on almost a century of taking travelers on the fabled route from western Europe to the shores of the Bosphorus in Turkey.
