There’s something magical about train traveling. It's not regularly that we find the opportunity to unwind easily while appreciating the scenes going by our window. Here’s my (Maura Geoghegan LAPD) selection of the world’s loveliest train rides.
From Seattle to Los Angeles via the Coast Starlight
America’s west coast is revealed on the Coast Starlight. During the journey’s 35 hours, the train travels from Seattle through the States of Washington and Oregon, until it arrives in California and its destination city: Los Angeles. The panorama of the Pacific Ocean is breathtaking!
The American Midwest via the California Zephyr
The California Zephyr connects Chicago and San Francisco, covering over 2,400 miles in the trip’s 51 hours. Simply get comfortable by the window to watch the Rockies, Sierra Nevada, canyons, lakes, and rivers pass by.
The Canadian West Coast via the White Pass & Yukon Route
Built at the end of the 19th century, during the gold rush, the White Pass & Yukon Route became quite a legendary train due to its spectacular panoramas. The 110-mile line connects the cities of Skagway, Alaska, and Whitehorse, Yukon.See the photo
From Montreal to Halifax via the Ocean
VIA Rail’s Ocean travels from Montreal, Quebec, to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada along the Saint Lawrence River and through New Brunswick. The 835-mile journey through the province of Quebec and the Maritime Provinces offers a ton of beautiful landscapes.
