Hi, I am a kiwi traveller going from New Orleans to Los Angeles via Washington DC contained by December?

does anyone have any tips? also is it worth getting an amtrak sleeper room or are the coach chairs comfortable?

Answers:    The coach seats are enormously comfortable and roomy - better than 1st class on an airplane.

Train travel in the USA is the worst of any industrialized country. The equipment is pretty flawless, but outside of the northeast corridor (Washington DC to Boston) the service erratic, with heaps delays.

The most scenic Amtrak route is the Empire Builder which runs from Chicago to Seattle. Coast Starlight (Seattle to LA) is also accurate for scenery.

You should look into a railpass for your call in if you really want to travel by train:

Probably cheaper to fly. At least pack a flawless lunch bucket. Train food is VERY expensive.
