SM Amtrak® Welcomes International Travellers to America DIscover more of AmerIcA AboArD AmTrAk The best way to truly see America is from the broad windows of an Amtrak passenger rail car. Recline in your private accommodation or admire an all- encompassing view from the dome car. You will enjoy scenes of America not accessible by any other means of transportation. Travel in comfort and experience the kind of journey only a train can offer. Take in American life in busy and remote regions of the USA.

Church steeples and flags greet you on the Atlantic shore between Philadelphia and Boston. In the West, California’s Napa Valley and orchards beckon photographers and invite you to stop for a visit. Amtrak trains take you directly to the center of America’s best loved cities, including Los Angeles, Miami, and New York. Stay in the city or sleep in comfortable onboard accommodations as you cross the nation east to west through Glacier National Park or north to south along the winding Pacific and Atlantic Coasts. When you arise, enjoy continental or American breakfast on the train. Make friends over a glass of wine and dine on regional specialties like catfish and Mississippi Mud cake.

  • A Reexamination of the Amtrak Route Structure
    Preliminary Report to Congress and the Public A Reexamination of the Amtrak Route Structure United States Department of Transportation May, 1978 THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590 Dear Mr. Chairman: I am pleased to transmit to you a report containing the Department's preliminary recommendations for a restructured intercity rail passenger system to be operated by Amtrak. The Department's recommendations were requested by the Appropriations Corrmi ttee Conferees in the report accompanying the FY 1978 Supplemental Appropriations Act (P. L. 95-240). I have supported Amtrak since its inception and I continue to be1 ieve in the need for an intercity rail passenger system. While this report was being prepared, I considered whether Federal support of intercity rail passenger service should simply be terminated in light of the large amounts of money we are spending to serve a relatively sniall segment of the traveling public. I have rejected that option, however. There is a significant constituency for maintaining Amtrak as a transportation alternative, even among people who today do not frequently use it. The system will be more efficient and will serve people better if we restruc- ture it and improve its operations in the manner suggested in this report. Further, abandonment of the system would involve large labor protection costs and other expenses, with no subsequent benefits. Additionally, there is the need to consider Amtrak in the context of the nation's energy shortage. The passenger train, if it is operated we1 1 and if it carries a reasonable number of passengers, is energy efficient. The 1973-74 fuel crisis demonstrated that the American people will ride trains when automobile fuel is in short supply.
