The Texas Eagle travels through
the Illinois farmland, crosses the Mississippi River into St. Louis,

Ozarks and northern Arkansas into Little Rock, where it crosses the
Arkansas River.
The train then speeds through Hope, Ark., into Texarkana, a city
dividing Arkansas and Texas.
The Eagle travels through the piney woods of northeast Texas before
landing in Dallas, the premier city of the southwest.
The Eagle then moves onto Fort Worth, one of the country's
fastest-growing cities before turning south to Temple and the Waco
area towards Austin, Texas' capitol.
The Eagle crosses the Colorado River at Austin and rolls across several
streams and rivers including the Brazos and the Guadalupe before entering one of
America's most popular tourist destinations, the Alamo City
At San Antonio, the Eagle interconnects with the
Sunset Limited, a true cross-country train that goes through the spectacular
desert southwest in its Orlando to Los Angeles route.
