Brilliant! 23 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Apart from all the information about Amtrak and VIA Rail the book summarises recommended places to stay, what to see and how to find your way on local transport in all the big cities along the way. This saves you having to lug around lots of city guides as well. Brilliant maps, too.

I think this book is brilliant. If you've never been on an American train it makes you want to go there. It has all the advice you need and some nice pictures - all very detailed and informative. Your trip wouldn't be nearly as good without this book.

A great companion 7 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
If you are new to American trains - they are a different experience to anything found in the UK - you really need this book to show you the ropes. It's practical as well as highly inspirational and makes a great companion as you travel around.
