The snowbound train that inspired a murder mystery

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Orient Express sleeping car No. 3309 wasn't just a rolling palace for Europe's elite; it got famously trapped in a massive Turkish snowdrift for ten freezing days in 1929. The panicked, frostbitten socialites trapped inside directly inspired Agatha Christie to write 'Murder on the Orient Express,' proving that upper-class misery is fantastic for literature.
