American
Spirit Rail lets you rediscover the Old West
by
Jerry
W. Bird
Having driven
much of the scenic route from Montana via Great
Falls, Helena, Glacier National Park , Kalispell,
Couer d'Alene, Idaho and Spokane, Washington to
Seattle on the Pacific Coast, our editors were
pleased to receive the material on this page about
American's best daylight train journey. It's the
American Spirit Rail tour, formerly known as the
Montana Daylight. Passing through many parts of the
country impossible to see any other way, its
refurbished 1940 and '50 s rails cars, including
'dining car' add a touch of nostalgia and are a
class act. Tour highlights include mountain scenery
in national parks, native sites, old West museums
and much more.
As the map (below)
indicates, the rail segment is supplemented by
motor coach connections including six US states and
the Canadian Province of Alberta (Waterton National
Park). Contact your travel agent or Montana Rail
Tours at (888) 533-7245 or the website:
