By




We often take the The San Joaquin to the LA Union Station from the Bay Area. The route is easy, affordable, and safe. Sporting only an hour more than driving to Los Angeles on the interstate 5 at roughly 7 hours.


As an alternative, and leisurely ride home the Coast Starlight offers a diverse and scenic view of the Pacific Coast. The train is over 1000 feet long, featuring coach class, a Dining Car, Pacific Parlour Car, and the Lounge Car.

The Parlour Car is the Signature First Class Lounge car that offers Sleeping Car Passengers exclusive use. First Class Passengers benefit from the daily activities such as wine tasting,meal service, theater. The Coast Starlight even has a small arcade, board games, coffee and bar service. The sightseer lounge allows comfortable views of the coastline, nature, and passing towns.

When taking the Coast Starlight consider choosing the sleeping car versus the regular coach for the full experience. You will be greeted by a personal sleep car attendant who will tell you about the many services offered. Each car is equipped with a personal Welcome Gift, sparkling wine or cider,and toiletry kit. The room transforms from seats to beds easily when you need to rest. Morning wake up Callisto offered daily 6:00 a.m. To 9:30 a.m.

For this needing wi-fi service, Amtrak has provides access in the Parlour Car.
