How to Book Rail Tickets

Booking rail tickets in the United States is a one-stop service, since there is only one passenger provider servicing the country - Amtrak. Unlike some other countries that have multiple rail providers offering service, Amtrak was established in 1970 by the U.S. Congress to serve as the sole provider here. Tickets for the company, which provides service to most continental states, the District of Columbia and even parts of Canada, can be purchased online at http://www.amtrak.com/.
