  • USA by Train
    USA by Train Lisabeth-Anne Wesley From city to mountain, desert to beach: over 3,000 miles from Atlantic to Pacific, and all by pubic transport! ‘You travelled how?’ When you tell people that you travelled around the USA, from New York to Chicago then on to Los Angeles via northen Arizona, they assume that you either flew, or hired a car, or a mixture of both. They are almost uniformly surprized to hear that we enjoyed a travelling holiday of almost 4,000 miles all by public transport. America’s Amtrak long- distance trains are a delightful (and fashionably green) way of combining travel with sightseeing and relaxation, and are one the of USA’s best-kept secrets – many of the locals that we met didn’t know you could make those journeys. Our rail journey started at New York’s Penn Station (all together now, ‘You leave the Pennsylvania Station at a quarter to four’: from the song Chattanooga Choo Choo’) on the Lake Shore Limited overnight to Chicago. Amtrak’s long distance trains have wonderful names: the Lake Shore travels along the Hudson River northwards through New York state and then, as its name suggests hugs the southern shores of Lakes Eric and Michigan eastwards to Chicago. A word about onboard accomodation: paying for a sleeper upgrades you to first class and costs extra on top of your rail pass, but as its in effect your hotel for the night you simply regard it as hotel expenses. The cost includes sleeper accommadation (full bedrooms are more pricey than roomettes, which are reminicsent of couchettes on European long distance trains), all meals, use of the shower room (lovely clean fluffy towels provided), bottled water, free newspaper in the morning, and unlimited coffee, tea, and fruit juice—you don’t need to visit the cafe, you just help yourself from the beverage station at the end of the carriage.
