Though Iowa doesn’t have sprawling rail terminals or massive commuter systems, it sits at the crossroads of two of Amtrak’s most iconic lines: the California Zephyr and the Southwest Chief. These routes stretch from coast to coast, allowing passengers in Iowa to travel to cities like Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco—without ever stepping on a plane. https://amtrak-station.com/stations/iowa-amtrak-stations/
