25th Anniversary Special, 2018

From Emmy Award-winning producers and hosted by Grammy Award-winning musician and storyteller David Holt, this special anniversary program celebrates over a quarter century of Great Scenic Railway Journeys. Creator and producer Robert Van Camp has handpicked his favorite North American rail adventures for this unforgettable collection — seventeen journeys that capture the spirit, history, and soul of the continent's most beloved heritage railroads.

These are not simply train rides or museum visits. They are immersive experiences that awaken all the senses — where you can see, hear, smell, touch, and even taste the pioneering history of North American railroading. From thundering historic steam trains and classic streamliners to elegant dinner trains and one of the most luxurious rail experiences on the continent, this program showcases why North America offers more railway adventures than anywhere else in the world.
