American railways are fast, comfortable and in good measure a cheap way of transportation. Trains in the U.S. are not as good as European but they are still a lot cleaner and more comfortable than buses.

In the U.S. there are several railway companies and we recommend to use whenever is possible Amtrak. Other railroad companies do not cover the entire territory of the United States but mostly one country or region. Amtrak is a government company that combines the 46 states within the United States and two regions of Canada.

If you choose to travel by train, it will available several types of maps and travel comfort.

When we talk about maps and ticket prices, it is important to say that the single tickets are the most expensive and it is much more profitable to buy from the railway passes, the so-called Rail Pass.

Amtrak as the largest railway company in passenger traffic provides several benefits in the form of rail passes.
