Independent coverage of THE TRAIN repeatedly identifies the Majestic Imperator as one of the production's defining locations. In the film, its luxurious carriages become the setting for a struggle involving intelligence operatives, rival interests, hidden agendas and a high-stakes auction.
The real-world Majestic Imperator is one of Europe's distinctive luxury rail experiences, inspired by the imperial railway tradition associated with Emperor Franz Joseph and the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
