The Great Brazil Express, Brazil's New Luxury Train

If you can get past the cheesy promotional video and the fact that the whole thing is blatantly geared towards wealthy English-speaking tourists, The Great Brazil Express luxury train tour sounds like it might actually be a travel experience worth taking. 7 day tours are available starting next week on the 23rd and take place on board a fairly intimate (fits only 22 guests) train that travels through the gorgeous Brazilian countryside. The tour starts at Curitiba and goes as far as the famous Iguazu Falls, and the train accommodations seem nice enough (albeit small) with leather couches, decor inspired by the Brazilian landscape and wildlife, music, and food/drink. Prices start at $3500.

This is novel - a small private self-propelled luxury train with just two carriages. In fact they are separately mobile and can be hired individually for yet smaller groups, for of course a higher per person cost. The Great (little) Brazil Express adds more variety to the widening range of luxury trains around the world!
