Amtrak’s observation cars, called sightseer lounges, provide an amazing way to see the countryside on long-distance trains. There are currently only seven routes that have these lounges with floor to ceiling windows. To plan your trip or see if your Amtrak route has a sightseer lounge, 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.
