From Paris to Le Havre France in 1955. Not high speed but still comfortable and scenic. Worst was the Auto train from Lawton VA to Sanford FL. Compartment was too small, sleeping was next to impossible in upper berth (more like a closed MRI) and need to move to another car to use rest room was a challenge. Movie in club car was an old Disney movie that played over and over. They said you close your eyes and wake up in Fl. Did not find that to be the case. Was a long sleepless night with several stops for who knows what reason. It was 17 years ago so, maybe the service has improved, but it sure was not high speed rail service back then.
