‘Coast Starlight’ Offers the Most Beautiful Train Ride All Along the Pacific Coast

Since the 1940s, the dazzling Coast Starlight train has been offering travelers a front-row seat to the scenic sights of the Pacific coast. Chugging through the lush forests, rolling hills, and breathtaking waterfronts of Washington, Oregon, and California, the Amtrak train showcases the aesthetic allure of railway travel.

The Coast Starlight runs between Seattle and Los Angeles, meandering through 30 familiar destinations over the course of 35 hours. Passengers will catch a glimpse of popular cities like Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Santa Barbara as the train also twists and turns through a number of awe-inspiring national parks. Travelers interested in seeing the stunning scenery are invited to board the Coast Starlight’s popular “Sightseer Lounge Car,” an observation coach that features floor-to-ceiling windows and convenient swivel chairs.

Amtrak offers an array of ways to experience Coast Starlight’s dazzling journey. These options range from simple coach seating to “Superliner Roomettes,” private chambers that each offer a bed and a private “picture window.” Fortunately, however, all passengers—regardless of seat or car—are sure to enjoy the jaw-dropping sites and scenery of the stunning West Coast.

You can book your tickets for the Coast Starlight on the Amtrak website.
