Amtrak Coast Starlight

Pros: Although my train was 4 hrs late departing from Sac. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to see it in the daylight for a change. I always wanted to see the beautiful scenery so I got my wish. I did manage to catch 2 hrs sleep but had to see the scenery past Redding to Klamath. The Dunsmir Canyon was spectacular as was the view of Mt. Shasta in full glory. Tips: Check your train schedule before heading to the station. Usually it is on time but this time was 4hrs delay. Lesson learned.

Amtrak Coast Starlight

Pros: Rides were super quiet and we were able to sleep throughout most of each. Way more space than a plane, even in coach. Staff was helpful and went above and beyond in some cases. Tips: Switch to Verizon Wireless if you want internet or service through most of the trip. My T-Mobile phone did not cut it for more than half the ride.

Among the most interesting destinations in the area is the California State Museum, located at the northern edge of the quarter. It offers numerous restored locomotives as well as exhibitions on the United States’ westward expansion.
