I think it might have been Robert Silverberg (not 100% certain, 
though).  The title was something like "The Hellbound Train".

Along similar lines is one of my favorite Harlan Ellison stories, 
"The Cheese Stands Alone".  It involves a man encountering an, erm, 
suspicious curio shop broker (aren't they all) who can show you a 
vision of the best -- the absolute pinnacle -- moment of your life.
