Picture Riding the US Rails

If you had to carry back liquids and gels in any appreciable volume after the holidays, you might have decided packing for complicated airport rules was a major drag. Totally true. What about taking the train in the US next time?

It's easy, it's pretty inexpensive, especially with an Amtrak student discount, and it's more fun than the bus. Start by ensuring Amtrak's trains go where you want to get with an Amtrak routes map, a trick trip atlas online.
