Rail Travel Trip Reports
New and Updated Reports

Passenger train fans don't just like to take trips. They like to tell us about their trips, too. In this section of ON TRACK ON LINE, we present reports of some trips on the rails--see the list and links below. Photos are included when available.

OTOL Member Amtrak Mileage Tally

Tell us the Amtrak mileage you travel in our Amtrak Mileage Forum

We hope you will enjoy reading about the adventures of others, and that they will tempt you to experience passenger rail travel too. Be sure to see our Amtrak Travel Tips also.

Our trip reports include reports submitted by Friends of Amtrak (FOA) members, reports submitted by On Track On Line (OTOL) Forum members, and reports from other sources.

All reports published here are with the express written permission of the authors.

Do you have a short trip report, less than one page with no photos, which you would like to share? Please register (free, easy) for our On Track On Line Forums and directly post your report in our Trip Reports Forum.
