I had never been on a train before and I decided to take a trip. I felt compelled by God to travel across the country. It would be my first time across the country as well. So I bought an Amtrak Rail Pass which is a ticket that allows a person to take any route, with the ability to go to 7 different cities or towns within a 15 day period. I chose to start in Sacramento, CA and take a round trip to Washington, DC. I rode on 5 different trains and the California Zephyr from California to Chicago, IL was by far the nicest. The ticket cost about $550.00
