Major
League Baseball by Train
With
opening day of the 2011 Major
League Baseball season
right around
the corner, Rail Passenger USA has prepared a special route guide for
baseball fans.
The guide contains resources to assist in planning intercity rail
travel to the major league cities and a wealth of information
describing
the ballparks, the major intercity railroad stations and the territory
in between. To open the guide, click on the
cover photo below.
Whether
you want to make that long awaited dream pilgrimage to all of the
stadiums or just attend a game or two versus a nearby rival team, this
guide will
help you plan your rail journey to the level of detail that best suits
your
needs.
It is
loaded with ballpark and local
train station information. For example, detailed
station-to-ballpark walking maps, transit maps and driving maps, as applicable, are included
for each of the 30 major league cities.
Many of the
ball parks are within walking distance of the train station and most
are within a 10 mile radius; just a short local bus, train or subway
ride away. Only a handful are a bit more difficult to get to.
Click on
one of the maps below to see examples of the walking and transit maps
included in our newest guide.

For ballpark information, we've utilized
MLB.com and the
expertise of a couple of fellows who
make a habit of visiting ballparks around the country and sharing their
experience with others on the web; Graham
Knight of BaseballPilgrimages.com
and Joe
Mock of BASEBALLPARKS.COM. Visit Mets P.2
for example and check out their websites:
