In years past, first-class service aboard the premier trains of America was the rule, and included with that ticket. Those regularly scheduled trains from years gone by have, unfortunately, vanished into history.  You can still, however, relive those days of first-class service, superb cuisine, and comfortable appointments, aboard the fine family of private passenger rail cars American Rail Excursions, Inc. operates.

American Rail Excursions, Inc. is a very unique private rail car trip & tour operator, specializing in inclusive, extended, overnight, land rail cruises.

Incorporated in 1997, American Rail Excursions, Inc. has traversed hundreds of thousands rail miles in the United States and Canada, treating our passengers to first-class nostalgic rail travel aboard privately owned rail cars that once held the most prestigious positions on America's most famous trains,... The "20th Century Limited", The "California Zephyr" and The "Crescent" just to name a few!

Travel with us aboard living pieces of railroad history that have been painstakingly restored to better than original condition, reflecting railroading's "Golden Age".

Our private rail car trips and tours are like having your hotel on the rails,...a fine restaurant with a five star chef and an ever-changing view....a swank night club to enjoy friendship & fellowship with other passengers and of course....room to move around and your own personal window to view America as we traverse this great country of ours.

For a travel experience you will never forget, step away from the crowds at the airports...enjoy a little slower pace, travel at "SEE" level and witness what's between those city pairs.

Call anytime for your next, special trip, corporate board meeting, business travel, second honeymoon, family vacation, or that group trip you've always talked about. We will plan a special trip for special times, whether it is one car or a whole train!
