Through which national capitals did the famed Orient Express run ? ( At least one may not have been a capital during the entire existence of the Express, but I am counting it here.)

My source has 2 that you don't, and you have 2 that it doesn't. I will double check mine, but I would like to know what country has ( or had) Strasbourg for a capital during the Orient's run.

I guess I should answer this now. The Orient Express had several different lines running, some at different times (years) than others. I didn't know this when I wrote the question. All the capitals it serviced are listed below.

London, Paris, Vienna, Munich, Belgrade, Bucharest, Budapest, Athens, Istanbul

Saltzberg is a hard one to call. It wasn't a capital of a nation or a country during the Orient Express's run, but it was an independent territory of the Austrian crown.

Good call on Munich, the capital of the Kingdom of Bavaria. I missed that one entirely when I first asked the question.
