My Blue Train ran from Calais to Nice from 1922 to 2007, operated by the International des Wagons Lits and famous for the race with the blower Bentley in March 1930. The train was commandeered by the Americans, who ran it between Calais and Vienna via France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. It took three days to reach Udine, mainly because of the damage to the track and bridges in Germany and France.
