Original Orient Express train carriages are coming to Gardens by the Bay! As a part of the Once Upon a Time on the Orient Express exhibit, fans of the Murder on the Orient Express novel and movie, or just history and locomotive buffs in general, will be able to see and experience these luxury trains from the early 20th century for themselves. There will also be a restaurant and cafe so you can travel through time and experience the intrigue and luxury travel offered by these trains almost a hundred years ago.

Set in the 1930s, Murder on the Orient Express tells the story of famous detective Hercule Peirot as he attempts to solve a mysterious murder on the Orient Express train during a snow storm. Even if you have not read the book or seen the film, the exhibit will still be a good opportunity to take a glimpse at the historic Orient Express trains that have history dating back to 1883.
