CITIES ON THE TEXAS EAGLE ROUTE
Step aboard the Texas Eagle and we'll transport 
you from the big-city excitement of Chicago to 
the down-home flavor of San Antonio. Years from 
today, what you'll remember most from this 
vacation won't be the Alamo, but instead how you 
got there. 

Your train departs from Chicago's Union Station, 
famous for its spacious Great Hall. Heading south, 
we'll stop in Springfield, then continue on to St. 
Louis. Look out your window for the Gateway Arch as 
you travel through the city, toward Little Rock. 
From there, you can take connecting bus service to 
Hot Springs, or remain on board and head to 
Texarkana and Dallas. The train turns south after Ft. 
Worth, and after a quick stop in Austin, pulls into 
San Antonio just before sundown. After you grab some 
dinner, be sure to look skyward -- as the saying goes, 
the stars at night are big and bright in the heart of 
Texas.

CHICAGO
Chicago may be known as the "Second City," but this city is
second to none. Starting with the city's picturesque Union
Station, this city is a perfect combination of past and
present, of industry and technology. Enjoy an architectural
tour down the Chicago River, cheer on one of the local
sports teams, groove to world-class music at the renowned
House of Blues, or marvel at the view of Lake Michigan from
the tallest building in America. With fantastic shopping,
various ethnic cuisine and show-stopping theater, the
Windy City will knock you off your feet. Let Amtrak take you
there.

FT. WORTH/DALLAS, TX
Combined, the Dallas/Ft. Worth metropolitan areas
comprise one of the five largest population centers in the
country. Between the two of them, you'll find dozens of
diversions. Start in Dallas, otherwise known as the "Big D,"
where you can stroll from Union Station through the
Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, take in a Rembrandt at
the Museum of Art, or go back in time at the Dinosaur Valley
State Park. If you're hungry for adventure, check out Deep
Ellum, the heart of Dallas nightlife. And if you're hungry for
some down home Tex-Mex cooking, dig in at any one of the
city's thousands of restaurants. 

While Dallas is more of a metropolis, Fort Worth embraces
the heritage of the Old West. In this place called
"Cowtown," you can tour the turn-of-the-century
Stockyards National Historic District, soak in the Fort Worth
water garden, or enjoy some of the area's railroad history,
aboard The Fort Worth & Western and Forest Park scenic
railroads. With so much to offer, the Dallas/Ft. Worth
"metroplex" is truly an oasis in the desert known as central
Texas.

TUCSON, AZ
Like an oasis, Tucson is a vibrant city in the middle of the
petrified desert. Some joke that the city has fewer residents
than cacti. Rattlesnakes and scorpions don't seem to scare
off visitors, who continue to make Tucson one of the most
popular tourist spots in Arizona. Among the sites to see are
the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, the Saguaro National
Monument, and the 80-year-old Hotel Congress, where the
