Hi,
I previously posted a thread entitled "Asian and Oriental". Somewhere
along the line, I quoted the European "Oriental Express".
Yesterday, I was watching Travel Channel. It showed a trip covered by the
"American Orient Express" train from Salt Lake City to the Yellow Stone
National Park, the Grand Canyon and other places. I did not know that
there was the Orient Express in the US until I saw the TV show. The
American Orient Express train is run by the Amtrak.
My question is whether the name "American Orient Express" is correct or not.
I thought that it should be "American Oriental Express" with an adjective
word Oriental. I might be wrong on this one. Craig
