Passenger Trains

Passenger trains have been one of the most important modes of transportation since the late 19th century. Without it, America would have never grown as fast as it did. During a time of Gold Rush, Civil War, World War 2, America relied on the railroad. From carrying troops to vacationers or those searching for a new life. Passenger trains today usually come in the form of Amtrak, intercity rail, and tourist trains. While the era of travel by train is now past, the charm of it has never gone away.
