"For years, Amtrak has provided U.S. travelers with opportunities for cross-country adventures that aren't as hectic as air travel, but not as "no-frills" as road trips. With routes connecting most of the country's major cities and travel destinations, Amtrak is increasingly being seen as a worthwhile travel option all its own. And with Amtrak's $8 billion revamp adding more high-tech trains to the company's fleet, would-be rail passengers will soon have even faster, more efficient, and cozier train options for their future journeys."
"When it comes to epic tours of the United States, one particular route stands out for its sheer breadth of cities, regions, and mileage. Though not the longest Amtrak route (that honor belongs to the 2,438-mile California Zephyr), the outstanding Silver Meteor train is perhaps the best way to experience the U.S. East Coast without having to spend money on gas, lodging, and tolls."
Amtrak offers cross-country rail travel that is less hectic than flying and less spartan than road trips, with routes linking most major U.S. cities. An $8 billion fleet revamp will add high-tech trains for faster, more efficient, and cozier service. The Silver Meteor runs about 28 hours between New York City and Miami, connecting major East Coast metropolises and numerous intermediate stops. The route traverses the Mid-Atlantic, the historic Southeast, and Florida, providing an affordable alternative to driving by saving money on gas, lodging, and tolls.
