The Orient Express was a scheduled train service that spanned the European continent, and was one of the most famous train lines in the world. Initially connecting between Paris and Vienna in 1883, it was later expanded across eastern Europe, terminating at Istanbul. Service was suspended during World War I and World War II, and several different lines went by the name "Orient Express", passing through cities like Munich, Milan, Budapest, and one line ending in Athens, instead of Istanbul.
Adventures on the Orient Express[]
On the search for information on the Holy Grail, Professor Henry Jones was scheduled to ride from Paris to Belgrade in the 1930's.[1]
Indiana Jones battled Nazi soldiers on the Orient Express.
In 1939, while on the trail of the Staff of Moses, Indiana Jones and Maggie O'Malley boarded the Orient Express in Paris, France after finding the Shepherd and rode it away while being chased by Magnus Völler and German Soldiers. Indy had battle soldiers on the roof of the train cars. To prevent Völler from following them, Indy detached the train carts. Later when the train reached its destination, Jones and Maggie caught a DC-3 plane flight to Lukla, Nepal. [2]
Behind the scenes[]
The Orient Express appears in Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings for the Nintendo DS. It was going to be a locale in the Wii and PS2 versions of the game but was cut before the game was finished.[3] It was also going to be in the base version of the game. In both of these versions, it would have been seen in Istanbul instead of Paris.[4]
