most scenic train rides in the world

Start Point Los Angeles, USA End Point New Orleans, USA Tourists far too often skip Americas south western states, which is a shame, really, because the vast cacti ridden deserts down below make for some spectacular sights. The Sunset Limited runs largely parallel to the US Mexico border, crossing the states of California, New Mexico, and Texas before heading into the scenic wetlands of Louisiana. Its a great way to learn about Americas south western states, and sample some great Tex Mex cuisine along the way.
