Travel blogger Derek Lowe shared his tips for an extremely scenic coast-to-coast train ride.

When one thinks of travel, the first thing that comes to mind is an airplane trip, a flight that lasts about 6 hours. However, if you are a romantic traveler and ready for new experiences, then the opportunity to cross the continent by train is very different from traveling by plane, and not only for obvious reasons. You will discover many beauties of nature, unique landscapes, but at the same time you will be able to meet new people, being in the same space for many hours.

On the subject: See America by Train

It is a 5500 km coast to coast route that takes 4 days if you do it non-stop. Buying direct tickets to the California Zephyr and Lake Shore Limited is enough to get you from San Francisco to New York, and tickets are available from $186.

However, Low encourages people to make intermediate stops along the way to take in the famous sights the United States has to offer and make the most of the trip, but points out that they will need to buy separate tickets for each part, which will increase the cost of the trip. In this case, you will have to buy a 15-day pass for $429, which includes 8 train rides.
