 Essential for train travel September 8, 2007

In planning a trip for 2008 I have found USA by Rail to be very helpful in deciding routes to criss cross the USA and Canada. Covers a multitude of important subjects in easy armchair reading or to use as a guide in route.
Excellent resource for "trainers" August 25, 2007

I strongly recommend this guide for those who expect to take any substantial Aamtrak trip. We have taken a number of them and I throughly believe this is one of the best guides that is out. Not only does it provide information you can use as the trip progresses, but helps with distances so you can pick the right stop or what train to take while planning your trip. Some of the trains have small, specific brochures that provide similar information, but by the time you have boarded its a little late for the planning advantages. Even then, this book provides more detail than the pamphlets. The route maps alone are worth the price.

As we intend to travel the USA later in the year (probably travelling by rail) this book answers a lot of the questions that we have before us. There is a comprehensive current (we hope) evaluation of the equipment & facilities, a brief history, & an evaluation of the possible routes, fares etc,.
We wish to travel through the "fall in New England" that we have read about, but have not yet been able to find out when the best time will be & are still researching that.
This book seems to be an ideal companion for that which we propose to do.
