Amtrak’s observation cars, called sightseer lounges, provide an amazing way to see the country on long-distance trains. There are currently only seven Superliner routes that have these lounges with floor to ceiling windows. To plan a trip on one of these routes, see the list below:
- California Zephyr
- City of New Orleans
- Coast Starlight
- Empire Builder
- Southwest Chief
- Sunset Limited
- Texas Eagle
Note: Seats in the sightseer lounges are open to all passengers on a first-come, first-serve basis. They are two-levels tall, with restrooms and a café on the lower level.
