I visited the USA this summer and travelled around most of the country by train, which was really enjoyable and inexpensive and made it possible to see many places that are otherwise more of a problem to visit (such as the Rocky Mountains, the Grand Canyon and desert country).
US train travel is quite different to anything I've encountered anywhere else so it was essential to have John Pitt's guidebook USA by Rail guidebook to help me find my way around. A new edition has recently been published so it's bang up to date with all the latest trains (including Amtrak's superb high-speed Acela, capable of 150 mph) and has route guides for all long-distance trains in the States and Canada. The associated USA by Rail website (http://www.usa-by-rail.com) has lots of useful free information, including rail pass prices, route details, travel tips and the chance to win Amtrak rail passes and computer games.
good first op - you could obviously write a lot more about your experiences, and generallty, more information of the quality you offer will get you lots of high ratings. if you change the op, please let me know.

Hi and welcome to Ciao. A fair first opinion but more information about the book would have been helpful. Good luck, Paul.
