North American
Rail Passenger Travel Companion

This website is designed for the information and entertainment of rail passengers, rail fans and all others interested in traveling between North American cities via rail. If you're planning a rail adventure in the near future, this site will prove invaluable in preparing for your journey. If you're not that far along, come on in anyway and join us for a virtual trip on the Amtrak long distance train of your choice.

You can easily connect to such famous trains as the California Zephyr, the Sunset Limited, the Silver Meteor, the Empire Builder and many others just by clicking on "Routes" in the menu above. You will find detailed station-to-station maps, station photos, street maps of the station areas, links to local transportation providers and much, much more. You can have some fun by flying the route first using a special Google Earth download, or hop off the train with Ray and take a side trip via one of his travelogues or favorite links.
