The Grandluxe Express is the best train in America — so sayeth the IRT Society, anyway.

Can a brother get a timpani? The list you’ve all been waiting for has finally pulled into the station: The Society of International Railway Travelers’ top 25 trains of the world!!! Wait, make that “!!!!!!!”.

Numbero uno in North America? Canada’s “Canadian”. In fact, canuck trains occupy the top 4 slots of our continent’s the 6 best (it’s not enough their currency’s better). The US, on the other hand, doesn’t fare so well — only the GrandLuxe Express (that thing behind the geriatrics above) is even mentioned, coming in at #5. At least we beat Mexico and its “Sierra Madre Express” (thank Odin).
