There’s one photo in “100 Train Journeys of a Lifetime” by Everett Potter that should grab most readers’ attention. It’s an aerial shot of the West Highland Line, considered the most scenic train ride in the world. It’s winding its way along an elevated stone bridge, offering dramatic views of the Scottish Highlands.
Look closely and you’ll see that it’s the Hogwarts Express, the rail line used in the movie series as it transported Harry and his friends to their wizardry school. There are 99 just as magical rail routes in this hefty travelogue of photos. It also includes history and vacation ideas from a National Geographic expert on trains and the places they can take us.
