GRANDLUXE TRAIN SET FOR SALE: GrandLuxe Rail Journeys, LLC and its affiliates today announced that they have retained Libra Securities, LLC to sell the luxury train recently operated as GrandLuxe Express. The train consists of 20 fully-operational cars and an additional 11 cars not currently in service. Prior to 2006, the train was operated under the name American Orient Express. The train will be available for viewing in Napa Valley, California later this month. "This is a unique opportunity for a sophisticated investor to acquire a train comprised of restored, 1940's and 50's-era luxury train cars," says Thomas M. Kim, Manager of GrandLuxe Rail Journeys, LLC. "We retained Frank Sena and Libra Securities because of their strong capabilities in the travel and leisure industry, and selected Napa Valley, California to showcase the GrandLuxe Express because we believe it is a destination of great interest to the discerning traveler and those interested in operating a luxury train." Interested parties are encouraged to visit http://www.luxuryrailcars.com and qualified buyers should contact Frank Sena, Libra Securities Managing Director, at 212-332-4150 for additional information on the train, viewing events and the sale process. GrandLuxe Rail Journeys, a company operating luxury private train journeys in North America, ceased train operations in August 2008. The company's GrandLuxe Express, once known as the American Orient Express, was named one of the 'World's Top 25 Trains' by the Society of International Railway Travelers and the 'Number 1 Railway Excursion in the USA' by America's Best and Top Ten website (GrandLuxe Rail Journeys, LLC - updated 9/17)
