  Rugged charm sets trains apart from more mundane means of transport and their ecological soundness is again in fashion. Pampered by helpful attendants, you can travel from coast to coast, explore the Rocky Mountains and ride directly alongside two oceans. Less expensive than flying, more comfortable than the bus, train travel keeps you relaxed and in touch with an ever-changing landscape as the world becomes a moving picture, framed. Featuring 37 routes crossing the US and Canada this guide highlights what to see from the train window, plus where to stay and what to see once you alight.
