Vintage rail cars provide a unique travel experience and are available in the U.S. from coast to coast, whether you live in Washington State or Washington, D.C. If Pullman is on your list of ideas for a vacation or travel adventure, there is surely a train waiting for you to board and heading for a destination of your liking. The choices are many, so start looking early and allow yourself enough time to choose the season, length of trip, expected accommodations and sights to see along the way. Decide if you would like to join a group or package tour or if you would prefer to reserve a private rail car.
Your rail tour of choice depends on your vacation needs. If you want a trip where you sit back and soak in the scenery where the train ride is the vacation, there are plenty of Pullman rail car travel options in this category. For example, you may wish to book a Great Alaska Adventure departing from California where you can experience the restored Pullman sleeping and dining cars, lounge in plushly upholstered chairs, enjoy luxurious food and amenities, take photos during your daytime view of the Cascade Mountain Range and relax with afternoon tea while journeying past Puget Sound.
If you are looking for a fun transportation mode but would like to visit museums or see certain cities or tourist attractions along the way, discover the best Pullman travel packages that suit this vacation agenda. The American Rail Excursions' Cherry Blossom Special will provide you with springtime views of the Ohio River Valley and the Appalachian Mountains as you travel from one exciting city to the next. The early April trip begins in Chicago and ends in Washington, D.C., just in time to see the cherry blossoms bloom by the Washington Monument. If you want to mix business and pleasure, book a Pullman train as the venue for your next corporate meeting, sales kickoff, office party or client hosting event.
