Okay @minerscanarybyvanessacarlton, Downeastern to Cresent the is the east Coast done, next take the Sunset Limited and connect to the Coast Starlight, from there transfer to the Empire Builder, once in Chicago take the California Zephyr to Emeryville, transfer to the San Jaoquins, then take the through way bus from Bakersfield to LA, once in LA go on the Southwest Chief back to Chicago, when in Chicago take either the Cardinal or Lakeshore Limited to New York, once in New York take the Empire Service to Buffalo. There, across the Country in 10 trains.

@honeyblooma Amtrak Cascades, it's 60$ if you schedule for tomorrow and 40 if you schedule in advance

@pathologicallypedantic, I am still respecting the budget and sending you to Williamsburg on the Northeast Regional, it was a really cool vacation when I went there and is home to not just historical sites like Jamestown, Yorktown, and Colonial Williamsburg, but also some honestly really nice beaches

@ollie-garden take the Coast Starlight to Emeryville, from Emeryville take a throughway bus to Oakland, once in Oakland take the BART to San Francisco

@mathclasswarfare Yes, but you get more time on a train with this route
