3 week USA train trip

Hello!

I'm currently settled in Malibu, but I have not seen anything else in USA. Im looking to take 3 weeks in autumn to explore this large country and prefer to do so by train. Im thinking 8-9 cities, and ending up in New York. Some places i'll only spend a day in and others i might stay for 2-3 days. I know I'll want to visit New Orleans.

What are you route suggestions?

            Dallas is fine. Good amount of history if you're into that. I wouldn't recommend Austin unless you like homeless camps on every sidewalk.

    You are wasting 75% of your time by being on a train. We don't have high speed rail here

      Amtrak seems to be quite comfy as tourist if you book a sleeper compartment, especially as a solo traveller, since you get assigned to tables with other people during meals, so no need for HSR here.

        Shut up you spastic c**t. When's the last time you took an Amtrak across several states? It's slow as frick and a massive time sink

          If you don't have the time to travel then you're doing it as a cope to escape your little miserable wagie existence where you subsist year after year and it is all the while setting you back and deferring actual escape by blowing the one thing that gives actually successful people total freedom to travel whenever and wherever they want and that's money. You sound pretty miserable about needing to go to work tomorrow and someone rained on your vacation delusion parade with a dose of reality.

            Shut up Black person. Amtrak is slow. Cleveland to Pittsburgh takes like 6 hours even though it's a 2.5 hour drive. I spent a month on Greyhound with the discovery pass. Looking out a window is fun for about 3 days, and then you realize you're in a moving prison, can't see much scenery, and cant really go anywhere. OP should be judicious with his choices, take Amtrak once to get his train fix, and then rent a car and drive the rest of the time. He'll have better access to "real america"

              But yes, a rental car will allow you to discover much more of the US than any train.

              I have unlimited time and don't need to budget.
              You have limited time and need to budget.
              Accept the fact that you're not rich enough to travel.

    Rural Austin used to be very nice before the C*lifornian horde invaded. You should have visited 30 years ago.

        I grew up on a ranch by a lake in Austin. That land doesn’t exist anymore.

        Anyways this board is full of >100iq people who went to college, because moronic wagies like you can’t afford to travel.

    The only Amtrak route that would be good is the Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle because it's otherwise annoying to get to Glacier NP and the line goes right through it. Everywhere else, just rent a car.

    You realize what's depicted in the map doesn't exist, right?

    If you actually wanna go by train though, take the Southwest Chief. It's the only line that has good scenery, at least until you get to Kansas. You could make a side trip to the grand canyon. Try to avoid going at night (if you want to look out the window). The Amtrak line in California is scenic too but turns inland not much further north of Malibu and like the rest of the train lines in the US, mostly goes through dumpy parts of town, empty flat land and the back sides of trailer home parks. It's not much to look at.

    Please do not do this. We don't have high speed railways, plus they're expensive and a pain in the ass. Get a car and pick an area to go around. New England could provide a good nice blend of big cities, history/culture, and nature in order to satisfy your lust for travel. Trying to see the whole country by expensive, slow ass trains is just a moronic idea.

    I like to travel by trains, but only the night, it's like a teleportation device, i lay down on a couch, i wake up at destination, best fricking transportation ever.

    Taking planes is probably cheaper than Amtrak

    Assuming you start in malibu- I'd actually start in Seattle, go down the green line then do this route. Could also swap atlanta and charleston
