Taking a train journey across America is an experience unmatched for truly soaking in vast landscapes. If you're not in a rush, traveling by rail reveals a whole different side of the continent. One of the greatest highlights of the Amtrak Coast Starlight is the iconic glass-domed Sightseer Lounge—a panoramic observation car designed for taking in uninterrupted mountain and forest views.
Once in a Lifetime: Amtrak Coast Starlight
While domestic flights may be faster, rail travel offers peace, sweeping scenery, and a rhythm of travel that allows you to read, work, and watch the American West glide by outside your window. Boarding at Emeryville and heading north to Portland Union Station in Oregon, the route treats travelers to breathtaking views through towering glass windows.
The Glass-Domed Observation Car (Sightseer Lounge)
The standout feature of this train is the public observation car. With expansive floor-to-ceiling curved glass windows, passengers gather here in comfortable swivel seats to read, sip coffee, work on laptops, and watch sunrise over rivers and mountains. It is a slow-travel experience that every train lover should experience at least once.
