USA by Rail by John Pitt
Ever since the construction of the railroad, American trains have had a strong hold on the popular imagination, inspiring countless stories, songs, scandals, films and legends. Attracted by the pace of life and an ever-changing view, more and more people are discovering the joys of taking to the rails to cross this vast continent in comfort and take in attractions such as the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, Yellowstone Park and Disney World. This guide covers 25 long-distance rail journeys in the United States and features 500 destinations, including sightseeing and accommodation in 38 major cities. It also offers details of 100 steam railways and museums, as well as 12 additional scenic routes in Canada and comprehensive practical information for all travellers.
John Pitt has written about travel and railway journeys for Thomas Cook as well as such newspapers and magazines as The Telegraph, Daily Mail, The Sunday Times and Wanderlust. He has travelled extensively in the United States and Canada, clocking up over 80,000 miles by train, and greatly enjoyed exploring the history and culture of both countries. He is the author of the previous eight editions of USA by Rail and finds that meeting people in the friendly, relaxed atmosphere on board trains gives many interesting and often surprising insights into life in the US and Canada.
