North America is huge, wild, and full of scenery that will leave you speechless, and one of the best ways to tour North America by train is to sit back and enjoy the ride. From the Canadian Rockies to the deserts of the Southwest, rail journeys stretch for thousands of miles through constantly changing landscapes. Grab a window seat, sit back, and watch mountains, forests, and plains roll past as the scenery unfolds before your eyes. Take a look at some of our rail holidays in North America to inspire you…
Travelling by train in North America is one of the most relaxed and memorable ways to see the vast open spaces and dramatic scenery.
Cruise across Canada on VIA Rail’s The Canadian, wind through the Rockies on Amtrak’s California Zephyr, or explore the wild backcountry on the Alaska Railroad. These rail holidays offer both comfort and front‑row views of some of the continent’s most astonishing landscapes. Glide past towering redwood forests in California, cross the Continental Divide where snow-capped peaks stretch as far as the eye can see, and keep an eye out for wildlife along the way. North American train holidays are perfect for families, couples, and solo travellers.
Historic train stations such as Toronto’s Union Station, Los Angeles Union Station, and New York’s Grand Central Station add an extra slice of charm and character to your trip, making stepping off the train as exciting as the views along the way.
From chatting to fellow adventurers to letting the scenic landscapes go by, a North American train holiday with eShores is far more than a way to get from A to B. It’s one of the best ways to truly connect with the continent’s scale, culture, and beauty.
The longest train journey in North America is VIA Rail’s The Canadian, which travels between Toronto and Vancouver, covering over 2,700 miles of spectacular scenery. At eShores, we can tailor this iconic coast-to-coast adventure into a seamless rail holiday, combining rail travel with city stays, tours and unforgettable experiences along the way.
Yes. Amtrak and VIA Rail both offer cross-border services, including the popular Maple Leaf route between New York City and Toronto. With eShores, you can easily include this international rail journey in a personalised itinerary, combining the best of the USA and Canada into one smooth, scenic journey.
