A spectacular trip from San Diego to Seattle on an Amtrak "San Diegan" train, then climb aboard the world famous "Coast Starlight". See miles of sandy beaches, then climb past Mt. Shasta for a snowy ride through Oregon's Cascades. The scenery that the Coast Starlight passes through is nothing short of stunning. Along the way, we stop at the following interesting train rides: the California Western, where unique rail busses run throught the forest and actually deliver mail to isolated homes, California's steam-powered Yosemite Mt. - Sugar Pine RR, the California State Railroad Museum and adjacent Sacramento Southern steam train, the now-closed Spirit of Oregon Dinner Train, the quite scenic Mt. Hood Railroad in Oregon, and the San Diego Trolley, and the Seattle Monorail!
