The most beautiful railroad car in the world, built in 1954 by the Budd Company for Canadian Pacific for their Vancouver to Montréal route. This is the only one in a museum, most are still in service! In yellow VIA livery, a diesel engine that might have once pulled this mighty train.
Best / greatest / most ... In the world
Why do North Americans continually use such a formulation ? It smacks of insecure braggadocio.
This railroad car almost certainly isn't "the most beautiful railroad in the world" and by opening with such a ridiculous claim you undermine your own attempt to bring attention to an object which may deserve appreciation and some (measured) acclaim.
I've travelled by train across North America, Europe and Asia and it absolutely is the most beautiful car in the world. There are a few in Japan that come close, but these tend to be bespoke unique models, not regularly scheduled passenger trains. If you think I'm overstating the beauty and luxury of 'The Canadian" you should definitely ride it sometime!
