SynopsisAmtrak is an essential part of America's transportation system for over 28 million passengers. Amtrak Across America profiles every line from the past and present.

With evocative photos, postcards, memorabilia and other collateral, this book is a journey through the past 40 years of Amtrak across America, and all the preceding rail lines that transformed the nation. This expanded edition has new information on all Amtrak's routes making this useful for anyone thinking of riding the rails., This book is a journey through the past 40 years of Amtrak and the preceding rail lines that transformed the nation. Includes up-to-date route info.
A wonderful book! Rather than lots and lots of simply train photos, the book has lots of images such as timetables, posters, postcards and vintage photographs. Those images really enhance the visual aspects of this book.
