A practical guide to rail travel across North America

Jennifer R. Cordova’s guide covers train travel in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, combining route ideas with planning basics. Topics include scenic routes, ticket booking, seat and sleeper options, travel classes, cross-border journeys, and ways to avoid common mistakes. It also addresses flexible itinerary planning, giving the book a focus on both the logistics of rail travel and the experience of seeing landscapes from the train. The Mexico and cross-border sections sit alongside guidance on travel within the U.S. and Canada, making the scope broader than a single-country route guide.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Travelers planning a rail trip in the United States, Canada, or Mexico.
  • First-time train travelers seeking booking and onboard guidance.
  • Those comparing routes, seating, sleeper options, or itinerary possibilities.
