One of the most common questions we are asked at LuxuryTrainTickets.com is ‘How much does it cost to go on the Orient Express?’. First we must note that the original Orient Express, the one famed in novels and movies, stopped serving back in 1977, meaning you technically cannot ride the Orient Express, however there are many authentic trains running similar 1920’s and 1930’s style luxury carriages in the very same format as the original Orient Express. Luxury train journeys are becoming more and more popular all over the world, and with so many beautifully restored original carriages to experience, there’s more choice than ever before.

How much does it cost to go on the Orient Express?

Orient Express prices vary between £200/€250/$250 and £55,000/€63,000/$69,000 per ticket. It’s a huge range in price, but an Orient Express ticket can vary massively depending on the train you are traveling on, the type of journey and where you are in the world. Cheaper Orient Express train prices tend to be for day-trips across the UK, usually aboard the Northern Belle 1930’s luxury train or the Belmond British Pullman. Although not sleeper trains, a day trip still offer the same levels of luxury you would expect aboard some of the larger, more expensive trains. These Orient Express day trips offer fantastic value and still allow you to sample what a journey aboard the original Orient Express would have been like. Typically these journeys cost anywhere from £200/€250/$250 - £500/€570/$620.

New Jersey Transit GP40PH-2B 4204 at Hammonton on the Atlantic City Line. Photo by Bob Vogel, August 2005.

NJT's Atlantic City line began life as an Amtrak service in May 1989which beefed up former Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines trackagebetween Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Before that, PRSL service,which had been cut back to the PATCO terminus in Lindenwold, ended in1982 due to low ridership and poor track.

NJT had tried to fund the line's return with the promise of high-speedservice. Several communities along the line fought the so-called'Gamblers Express' service with its many grade crossings that wereseen as a safety threat. Amtrak managed to pick up the ball and getthe line in operation. NJT commuter service began to operate betweenLindenwold and Atlantic City in September 1989, with some service to30th Street Station in Philadelphia beginning in May 1993. Amtrakservice was less successful than hoped and was eliminated in 1995.

Train consists are diesel hauled, with various types of Comet push-pull in the consist. Although train length has varied, the standard train seems tobe three coaches, with one generally not available to riders unlesscrowds dictate otherwise. Trains as short as two cars and as long asfive cars have been seen at various times. All equipment is fromNJT's pool and is deadheaded to and from the Kearny/Meadowlandscomplex as needed. At one time, moves were allegedly timed to allowconsists to provide 'Diesel Express' runs on NJT's Trenton line, butthis appears unlikely since the Trenton trains generally require morethan three cars.

NJT service begins on 30th Street Station's lower level,with the locomotive of the diesel consist usually on the Philadelphiaend. Transfers can be made here to all lines of the SEPTA Regional Rail,the SEPTA Market-Frankford Elevated and the SEPTA Subway-Surface Streetcar Lines.Trains leave 30th Street and follow Amtrak trackage through ZooJunction and onto the Northeast Corridor through North Philadelphia.Currently trains do not stop at North Philadelphia but this may changein the future. Trains move to the south side of the Corridor and exitit at Frankford Junction, where they begin their climbs up the massiveDelair lift bridge across the Delaware River and enter New Jersey.Trains use the northern track only, with Conrail freights on thesouthern track on the structure.

A station is being built just off the Delair Bridge adjacent toDerousse Avenue, Cherry Hill, where the Atlantic City Line crosses theNew Jersey Transit RiverLine, a diesel light rail line betweenCamden and Trenton.

Shortly after leaving the Jersey side of the bridge, the trains crossa few Conrail branches and a couple of busy highways (Westfield Avenueis crossed at grade) before ducking into a single-track cut whichturns to the south. After passing over Route 38, CherryHill station is entered, with its passing siding. Some trainsare scheduled to turn back at Cherry Hill at certain times, so theremay a train laying over at this location occasionally. Cherry Hillwas located in the middle of a large parking lot for Garden State RaceTrack. A large portion of this lot was recently redeveloped as ashopping center. The lot usually did not get much use, save for theannual New Jersey State Fair at the Track which used a large portionof the main parking lot and necessitated use of the auxiliary one.

Out of Cherry Hill, the trains vault over Route 70 and return tograde, with a grade crossing just inside Cooper River Park, then duckback into a cut through the town of Westmont. The line turns to theeast slightly and joins the PATCO right-of-way as it drops into itsown cut to traverse Haddonfield. The railroad track is in a deepercut, with the PATCO station barely visible from NJT trains. Trainscontinue parallel to PATCO on to Lindenwold, varying from the cut inHaddonfield to surface to embankment east of Woodcrest, back to gradejust before entering Lindenwold.

At Lindenwold, the NJT station is next to the station of the PATCO High-Speed Line, although PATCO's is on embankment. Theformer PRSL platform, built as part of the PATCO station, can be seen.Most of this low-level platform has been built over for the currenthigh-level one. PATCO's yard and shop are to the north of the trains(to the left of outbounds, as we are travelling). Just west of thestation, a siding is located where PRSL RDC units layed up betweenruns. The siding still connects with PATCO's yard trackage and isPATCO's connection to the outside rail world.

Leaving Lindenwold, the line becomes laced with grade crossings as itruns in a median area between two parallel roads for a short distance.This area is sufficiently busy with traffic that train speeds are keptlower than they could be. Once out of this area, trains open up for ashort distance, then enters an embankment before reaching Atcostation. Atco is just across busy Route 73 and close toa large movie multiplex.

Past Atco, the line goes back to grade, passing Winslow Junction, theformer split of PRSL services to Atlantic City and southern shorepoints such as Ocean City and Wildwood/Cape May as well as a crossingof a former Central Railroad of New Jersey line to Jersey City.Winslow also features a long passing siding where trains are sometimesscheduled to meet. Shortly, Hammonton station isreached. Hammonton has several grade crossings and the line runsthrough the heart of the town, necessitating another slow run.Hammonton's PRSL station building still stands and can be seen justbefore the new station is reached.

The line straightens out and appears to leave civilization for a whileas it zips through the Jersey Pinelands. Egg Harborstation seems to appear out of the pines, and once the stop iscleared, the trains seemingly re-enter the woods. Another passingsiding at Pomo, about five miles past Egg Harbor, is another place toexpect a meet, depending on schedules. The siding is close to Pomona,the location of Atlantic City International Airport and a federalaviation test center. At various times, the possibility of anintermodal station here has been discussed but nothing hasmaterialized so far.

Trains leave the pines and development becomes plentiful again, andthe track rises onto an embankment just before Abseconstation comes into view. The station is on this embankment andrequires an elevator for access for those who cannot climb the stairs(other stations can be accessed by zig-zag ramps as well as shortstairways). Absecon is the last station on the mainland, so to speak- it is a little-known fact that Atlantic City, as most of its Jerseycoast resort towns, is on a barrier island. The track continues onits embankment through the marshland, with the towers of Atlantic Citycoming into view. The single track becomes two about two miles fromAbsecon and remains that way into the last stop. The busy AtlanticCity Expressway, with its median parking areas for casino employees,is just to the south of the trains.

Trains cross a swing bridge over what locals call the 'Thoroughfare'and immediately enter the Atlantic City station interlocking. TheAtlantic City terminal is a 5-track, 3-platform affairnext to the city's new convention center. The famous Boardwalk, aswell as the old Convention Center (famous for Miss America), are overa half-mile to the east and require a healthy walk or a jitney ridefrom the train station.

Train operation may get a little more complicated as a highwayconnection known locally as 'the tunnel', linking the Atlantic CityExpressway with the city's Marina District to the north, will likelycut across the terminal lead trackage at grade. While exact detailsare not yet worked out, this could severely hinder rail operations.

NJT trains operate on varying schedules depending on the time of year.In summer periods, a couple of extra trains are operated, especiallyon weekends. Basic service is 12-14 trains per day each way on no setschedule pattern, as the single track and availability of 30th Streetplatforms and Delair bridge windows seem to dictate when trains canrun. Service runs from early morning to late at night. Train ticketsare honored between Lindenwold and Atlantic City on NJT's Route 554bus, which operates hourly on the White Horse Pike (Route 30).

At this writing, the maximum fare is $6 one way. Tickets arepurchased from vending machines which are available at all stations.Clerks man ticket windows at Atlantic City at certain times. Althoughthere are conductors on board trains, their responsibilities are tocheck, not punch, tickets - ticket validators are also placed at eachstation to be used for just that purpose.
