Approximately 300 Amtrak trains depart daily throughout the United States, connecting more than 500 destinations on 21,000 miles of track.
Some of these trains are commuter services that connect nearby cities, while others are long-distance trains that connect states near and far. In fact, Amtrak offers 15 thoughtfully planned overnight journeys.
Journeys to each unique region depart throughout the year, and because Amtrak traverses remote stretches and places (like National Parks) where roads do not travel, there is no better or more relaxing way to see the hidden details of North America.
The number of meals is dependent on the length of the journey. Full dining service is only available on select long-distance trains, including but not limited to, the California Zephyr, Southwest Chief, Empire Builder, and Coast Starlight.

Coach Class is the standard level of service. Passengers travel in wide, reclining seats with plenty of legroom. There are trays, reading lights and electric outlets at each seat, with restrooms at the end of each car. There are no included meals in Coach, but food can be purchased in the onboard Café.
Roomettes are private rooms with two comfortable seats that transform into upper and lower bunks at night. A large picture window in the room ensures great views of the passing scenery can be enjoyed, while each car has shared restrooms and showers. Meals are included in the Dining Car for passengers who have upgraded to this level of service.
Ensuite Bedrooms are spacious private rooms with in-room sink, restroom and shower. Twice the size of a Roomette, these contain a large picture window, a sofa and a separate chair during the day. At night, the sofa transforms into upper and lower bunks. Meals are included in the Dining Car for passengers who have upgraded to this level of service.
