Business class train experience: Butterworth to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Our family’s about to find out what it’s like to take a 4-hour business class train from Penang, Malaysia to the nation’s capital and largest city, Kuala Lumpur. We arrived here by train a few days ago, but that was a shorter trip, from Ipoh, on a simpler rail, in coach seating. So we’re hoping to experience a bit more luxury as we wrap up our latest trip around Southeast Asia and start a 5-flight journey home to Denver to celebrate Halloween. Let’s get to it.
