Journey Coast to Coast on Amtrak's
Sunset Limited
The following are views of Amtrak's only true trans-continental train, the
Sunset Limited, which runs from Los Angeles to Orlando, Fla., en route visiting
such large cities as Phoenix (area), Tucson, Ariz., San Antonio, Houston, New
Orleans and Jacksonville, Fla. These are only the beginning of pictures of the
Sunset. More will be added in the future.Click on thumbnail images for larger views..
