Frequently asked questions about travelling by train from Houston to Monterey
While the train is the main method of transport from Houston to Monterey, it will only take you part of the way there. Please note that part of your trip will be on a different vehicle, most commonly a coach or express shuttle.
Typically there is only one scheduled train per day. However, it is not a direct train. This means that you will need to disembark from your original train and board a connecting train at some point during your journey.
