Hi Guys
I stumbled across this forum while looking for amtrak info on the net and have a few questions regarding the Segements so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction
I am looking to see as much of the country as possible with New York ,Chicago,San Francisco,Grand Canyon and New Orleans begin my priority . I still haven't decided on the exact route but it should be something like this
Segment 1) New York to Chicago
Segment 2)Chicago to - Denver/Salt Lake City
Segment 3)Denver/Salt Lake City to San Francisco
Segment 4)San Francisco to Los Angeles
Segment 5)Los Angeles to Flagstaff (Gran Canyon)
Segment 6/7)Flagstaff to Kansas/St Louis (Two Segments) ?
Segment 8)Kansas/St Louis San Antonio to New Orleans ?
Segment 9)New Orleans to Atlanta ?
Segment 10)Atlanta to Washington ?
Segment 11)Washington to Philadelphia ?
Segment 12)Phildaelphia to New York ?
First Question .
Does going from point A to B count as 1 segment or some of the routes counted as two segments
Second Question
I would like to Transfer from the Southwest chief at Kansas to the Texas Eagle line at St Louis and take the train down to San Antonio , is this going to use 2 segments or 3 ?
Third Question
Does anyone have a opinion on which would be the more interesting place to stay , Denver or Salt Lake City . I realize this is down to personal taste and experience but I would like to hear what anyone has to say about either of the two City's
Well hopefully that covers it
Thanks in Advance
Nick
