Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: A
Explanation
To solve this, match the most famous railway lines first. The Orient Express is historically renowned for running between Paris and Istanbul (IV matches A). The Trans-Siberian railway is the world's longest line, connecting the west of Russia (Leningrad/St. Petersburg) to Vladivostok in the east (III matches B). The Trans-Andean railway crosses South America, linking Buenos Aires to Valparaiso (II matches D). This leaves the European transcontinental railway connecting Paris to Warsaw (I matches E).
