Railway ideas for exploring America.
This edition brings together 131 railway experiences across 44 states. It includes scenic passenger journeys, heritage excursions, dining and themed trains, historic electric railways and museum rides. Each listing identifies its experience type.
The directory is a selection of travel ideas, rather than a complete census of every railway or a live timetable. State and town counts reflect entries in this edition; a railway with more than one boarding area can appear under multiple towns.
Before you travel
Use the official operator link on each listing for dates, current prices, exact boarding instructions and availability. Seasonal operations, routes and equipment can change. Group links are included where published by operators; contact the railway to confirm arrangements.
Directory research: October 2026. No live fares, departure guarantees or booking availability are stored in this edition.
