Can you help me plan a trip via Train?

Question

I had a dream that I was on a cross country trip on a train. I want to go at least overnight if not two or more. I was on the amtrak website and it was really confusing. Where can I go and where do I book the tickets? I live in southern cali.

Answer 1

Contact your nearest travel agent.  They will plan your trip and you'll probably get the best rates through them.

Have a safe trip.

Answer 2

When you say "cross country," you mean from California to the East Coast, right?

As far as I know, there isn't one single train that will take you from southern California all the way to the East Coast.

You can do that with two trains though:

- Southwest Chief from LA to Chicago:

then:

- Lakeshore Limited from Chicago to NYC or Boston:

That's a nice trip..  Takes about a week though.

Reservations for seats on those two trains can be made at the Amtrak website.

Hope this helps!
