5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 23 Nov 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: USA by Rail (Rail Guides) (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous all in one travel companion - unbeatable!, 25 Mar 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: USA by Rail (Rail Guides) (Paperback)

"I've used this book as a guide on several lengthy Amtrak journeys, including a tremendous cross-country route from Florida to Los Angeles, and also on VIA Rail trains in Canada. The tips for accommodation and sightseeing were particularly useful as it meant I didn't have to lug around too many other books as well. USA by Rail gives all kinds of information for the journey and to help when planning routes and bookings in advance. The amount of detail is truly impressive. There are even articles about the building of the railroads and about steam trains you can ride now. The maps are very good, too. More photographs would have been nice but this is a minor point. The book is essential for travelling by train anywhere in North America, especially if this is a new experience for you."

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely informative, 3 Jan 2002

By A Customer

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.
