Holiday travel planning: Amtrak routes

Monday December 10, 2007

If you'd rather avoid the whole airport scene at Christmas, though, you can always try the train. Before you decide to ride the US rails as a travel method, make sure Amtrak's trains go where you want to get with an Amtrak routes map, a trick interactive trip planning atlas online. Check it out -- students get a 15% Amtrak discount, too.
