The Amtrak Sunset Limited takes you between Louisiana and California, along our southern-most route. Settle back and watch the Bayou Country, Mexican border, southwestern deserts and California mountains pass by your window.
Three trains depart weekly in each direction. Services on the Sunset Limited include Superliner Sleeping and Dining Car accommodations and spectacular views from the renowned Sightseer Lounge Car.
Deboard in Alpine, Texas to visit Big Bend National Park, in Tucson to visit Saguaro National Park, or in the gateway to Phoenix and the resorts and spas of Scottsdale with a stop in nearby Maricopa, AZ.
In season, onboard National Park Guides provide insights about the changing vista and natural heritage of the region you'll travel through. Sit back, relax, and learn as you take in the desert and coastal landscapes of this great American panorama.
As part of the Trails & Rails program, National Park Service guides from the Amistad National Recreation Area are onboard the Sunset Limited between New Orleans and Houston.
Trails & Rails is an innovative partnership program between Amtrak and the National Park Service.
