coast to coast, explore the Rocky Mountains and ride directly alongside two
oceans. Less expensive than flying and more comfortable than the bus, the train
keeps you relaxed and in touch with an ever-changing landscape as the world
becomes a framed but moving picture. o The only book in print specifically
intended for rail travel in the USA o 37 routes crisscrossing the US and Canada
o What to see from the train window, plus where to stay and what to see once you
alight
