Need help for Orient Express research

[matt101]

Dear forum members,

I'm no specialist on topics related to trains, but I have found myself conducting some research regarding the Orient Express, for a project.

The O.E. in question is the Orient Express per se, not the 'Simplon Orient Express' or the 'Aldberg Orient Express', etc.

The year I'm interested in is 1932, and mainly the names of the stations the train stopped at, along its journey.

In particular, I'd like to know the name of the station the train stopped at in Vienna.

If anyone could point me towards hi-def scans of the train's timetables, that would also be great.

Any other resources wouild be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much to anyone who is available to lend a hand!

From the Man in Seat 61:

Books about the Orient Express...

The Orient Express: The History of the Orient Express Service from 1883 to 1950 has more about the history of the Orient Express, Bradshaws Continental Railway Guide is a reprint of the 1913 Bradshaw's timetable - showing the Orient Express!

Also recommended is 'The Orient Express - The life and times of the world's most famous train' by E H Cookridge. Although out of print, you can buy it second hand through Amazon

Thank you, wyvern,

I had found Man in Seat 61, and although the website provides a wealth of information, the timetables it shows are from the Direct and Simplon Orient Express routes, not the Orient Express proper (the one that went through Germany, Austria and Romania, on its way to Istambul).
