Running down the southwest coast of India, the Konkan Railway is a feat of engineering excellence, with the Western Ghats flanking one side and the Arabian Sea sparkling quietly on the other. Submerged between coconut groves, palm trees and great swathes of wet greenery, trains travel with the doors flung open and warm air billowing up the aisles. The Mandovi Express is one of many services on this route, but it’s widely known for housing the best pantry car on Indian Railways, with vendors traipsing up the aisles carrying baskets of hot pakoras, chicken lollipops and pots of fresh biryani with yoghurt.

Known as the Godfather of Trains, the Trans-Mongolian departs from Moscow and takes more than five days to traverse Siberia, passing naked trees, isolated farms and low-hanging cloud and mists to arrive in Mongolia from where it dips down and carries on for another two days through China to Beijing. On board passengers will meet everyone from farmers and lawyers eating blinis and cottage cheese, to teachers and soldiers downing vodka and swapping smoke grenades for stamps and English coins. Pack plenty of food, brace yourself and surrender to an experience of a lifetime.

The best way to get a feel for Myanmar’s capital city is by riding on the Yangon Circular Railway. On board, there’s a laid-back vibe where passengers nudge off flip-flops and sit cross-legged catching up with friends, threading flowers for market and selling everything from eggs and papayas to freshly roasted corn on the cob. As the train approaches stations, passengers hop down before it has stopped and stroll across overgrown tracks to markets covered with coloured umbrellas to shield their wares from the heat. Take the opportunity to step around the hessian sacks piled with pyramids of fruit and haggle with women in loose cotton shirts and floral longyi. Hop back on the next service and continue the loop to Yangon.

The antithesis of Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains, this nineteenth-century narrow-gauge railway chugs along at 15 miles an hour offering passengers close-up views of the Hozu river. In spring, the delicate scent of cherry blossoms drifts off pink explosions of sakura, but one of the most popular times to travel is in autumn when Japanese maple trees take on a range of colours as though the forests were on fire. Flaming in shades of orange, papaya and dark red, the mountainsides look as though they’ve been splashed with cans of paint.

Sailing out of the seaport city of Seattle, the Coast Starlight curves down the western edge of America, showcasing the best views, food and conversation that Amtrak has to offer. Get comfy in the sightseer lounge with a view of the Pacific Ocean where turquoise hues bleed into one and tiny waves peak in the blue. Buskers strum guitars, students play poker and retirees chat to young travellers about their days on the old railroads. Serving everything from enchiladas to shrimp in lobster sauce, the dining car is the hub of the action where unlikely friendships strike up and strangers swap stories until the train barrels along the final stretch of sunlit coast and brakes into L.A. Union Station.

Few trains can take your breath away, but climbing to more than 5,200 metres, the Qinghai-Tibet railway from Xining to Lhasa can leave passengers more than a little tight in the chest. On the highest train in the world, compartments are fitted with gold nozzles pumping in purified oxygen to alleviate the symptoms of altitude sickness as passengers gaze at the yellow plateau and electric-blue skies. Suede-soft mountains are dusted with snow and raggedy-looking yaks dot the landscape, coloured prayer flags twisting in the breeze. As the train curls around the Kunlun Mountains, its interiors darken from the shadows of looming ice and snow before the final descent into Lhasa.

With a creak and a wail the Reunification Express rolls out of Hanoi station, taking two nights to travel along the backbone of the country down to Saigon. From behind limp-curtained windows passengers are drawn through the guts of Vietnam, granted views into kitchens, backyards and alleyways, where chefs hose pans, mothers plait children’s hair and tiny coloured vests dry on makeshift washing lines. Between Hué and Da Nang, jungle rises up around the train, waxy leaves slap the sides and hot sunshine flashes in between barred windows. And below, the South China Sea opens into an expanse of hazy blue, a finger of cream sand running along its frothy edge.

When college hockey coach Herb Brooks is given an assignment in the big leagues—to coach the men's team in the Olympics—the odds are against him, especially considering the U.S.A. is to face the Soviet team. A must for all athletes, this patriotic film will give you a glimpse at Americans uniting. Rated PG.

Young Tommy Pickles feels like he's second fiddle when his brother Dill shows up on the scene. After receiving a bout of widsom from his older cousin Angelica (who's known for having a mean streak), Tommy soon goes on a journey with his diaper-clad crew in an attempt to return his baby bro to the hospital. Rated G.
