 cross-country train travel November 27, 1999
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
My wife and I have enjoyed a few overnight (Lake Shore Limited) train trips and, based on this experience, fantazied about a cross-country trip. When it came time to forfill this particular fantasy (now with our son), we found this to be the best source of pratical, how-to, what-side-ot-the-train-to-sit-on advice. the author clearly loves train travel and has a first-hand knowledge of his subject. My 4-star rating is based more on the lack of artistic style than content. In you're planning a trip, this is an eminently useful book.
 Extremely readable & lots of different interesting info March 19, 1999
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Great book for the rail fan or wannabee rail fan! My favorite escape is planning train trips (even if they don't usually pan out) and I have read every book I have found. Jim's books are extremely readable and have lots of intersting information that I didn't know! It makes you long for the whistles and sway of the train. I did just go on the Copper Canyon and used Jim's comments on that trip; however there were barely 17 pages, which were not enough. If you haven't been - GO. I had a great trip and will give any interested parties all my secrets if you care to drop me an e-mail. But be sure to buy and read Jim's book before you go!
Very Good Information on Train Travel! January 24, 1999
Very good content of information, wide range of info, and important data. However, there are a few redundancies, which is why I give it a 4 star rating. Very good overall, however!

Excellent -- will get you yearning for train travel! July 28, 1998
This is a wonderful book that captures the romance of train travel! It's both practical and inspiring -- a rare blend. And it's fun to read! If you've ever thought about a long-distance train ride, I highly recommend this book.
