The map is a schematic: lines join stations in order with straight segments, so curves, mountain passes and exact track alignments are simplified. It shows where trains go, not exact geography. For detailed track maps and the latest route changes, use the operators' own maps on amtrak.com and viarail.ca.
A few patterns stand out. Chicago is the hub where most western long distance trains begin. The densest service is in the Northeast, between Washington and Boston, and in Canada between Quebec City and Windsor. Large parts of the interior West, the northern plains and northern Canada are served by a single train a day or a few a week.
