I don't normally do lines, so I will use these that I do keep, which is a map of all Amtrak stations photographed that I keep active.

I will note that I have used the Northeast Corridor, Lake Shore Limited (48 & 448), Maple Leaf, Empire Service, Carolinan, Capitol Limited, Cardinal, Illinois Zephyr/Carl Sandburg, Southwest Chief, Coast Starlight, Pacific Surfliner and Southwest Chief.

Yeah, the Builder is on my list one of these days.

It's amusing to see a coach ride on the CL and Cardinal. I did that once as a university student, it was a LONG ride.

I'm not sure if it was coach or business class, but it was a bit long. Took amtrak from NYP all the way to Emeryville by train, and then down to Anaheim a few days later. Even if the trip tool a while by train, there was still great scenery, especially on the CZ, which you can't find anywhere else.

I've managed to cover a pretty decent portion of the Amtrak system. Not too shabby, even if the Zephyr remains on my travel wish list!

(I caught one minor error, so rather than re-do it, I'll note that I've taken the Crescent to Atlanta and the Carolinian as far as Durham. So I should have left a gap in the Carolina Piedmont route between Durham and the junction with the Crescent route.)
