the trains have many levels of pass. accommodations (basic, luxury, presidential).. all fares provide 'sleeper' service, there is no 'daycoach' class.. a n.y.-l.a. run is 11 days.. riders de-train at many stops and tour local sights as they remain overnight on the train and depart the next day..

fares run from approx. $2500-$5,000, dep. on length of trip and service desired.. fare includes everything except travel to/from departure/destination points.. one train connects montreal with several cities in the northeast..

if you've been looking for a terrific train ride as it was in the 40s and 50s, this is it..

cars are painted blue/cream and labeled 'american orient express'.. locos could be any class 1 system: amtrak, csx, etc.
