Planning an Amtrak trip across the United States

Organized around the practical decisions involved in rail travel, this guide covers scenic routes including the Coast Starlight and California Zephyr, along with onboard accommodation and dining options. It also brings together trip-planning topics such as tickets, rail passes, baggage rules, and resources for families and travelers who need assistance. The book frames train travel as a way to experience the country along the journey, while offering a step-by-step structure for preparing a 2026 trip. Because ticketing and travel policies can change, the guide’s coverage is best understood as information presented for its stated 2026 travel context.
