Amtrak Capitol Corridor

Pros: That I didn’t have to drive at 83 yrs old. Cons: The signs giving directions. Tips: I followed the sign to C track but was on the wrong side of the track and didn’t realize it until ten minutes before the train left. I had to run with my roller bag all the way down the ramp and up the next and just made it. I was able to get a single seat but it wasn’t comfortable, very hard on old bones. I had no idea it was long way to the boarding. I would have asked for help but I can walk without a Walker or cane so didn’t think I’d have a problem. Then when I went to exit the train it was a big jump to get off. Luckily, a man nearby held my suitcase until I got off and handed it to me. I thought this trip would be like my train from Lake Tahoe last summer on the Zepher. It was much harder for me. I was hoping I’d be able to do this again to see my granddaughter in Sacramento, but I don’t think I can handle it.

City Information

Sacramento

As the long-held capital city of California, Sacramento has a rich and vibrant history that is reflected in its historic buildings and quarters. The Old Sacramento Waterfront quarter is the best place to explore the city’s rich heritage. Boasting ages-old constructions and a quaint vibe that is reminiscent of the Wild West, the area allows visitors to travel back in time and relive the Gold Rush era. 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. If history is not really your thing, then the Midtown quarter, which boasts a vibrant and expanding art scene, will be a great alternative.

Sacramento is famous for its vast tracts of farmland, so it makes sense that the best dishes are the ones made from locally-grown produce. Among the best places to try out homemade dishes are The Firehouse and The Kitchen. For a bit of an Asian taste, visit Mikuni in Midtown Sacramento.

The busiest bus station in Sacramento is located right in the heart of the city and offers bus service to Portland, Reno, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, among many other places. The main Amtrak train station is the nearby Sacramento Valley Station, which also serves the Gold Line of the local transit light rail.
