Description
While air travel continues to dominate long-distance movement and highways make up the majority of intercity trips, Amtrak remains a powerful and efficient choice for those who value comfort, scenic routes, affordability, and environmental consciousness. In a state like Iowa—where urban density is low but travel needs are consistent—train stations provide essential access to cities like Chicago, Denver, and beyond.
Students heading home from college, seniors on cross-country trips, rural travelers without access to airports, and tourists hoping to enjoy the classic rhythm of the rails all benefit from the ongoing presence of Amtrak stations in Iowa.
