Download or read book Western States Tourist Railroads and Museums written by William (Bill) C. McElroy and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several guidebooks for locating tourist railroads and train museums, but few if any provide anything more than a simple address. This e-book guide provides the user with a 'Turn-by-Turn' road guide w/GPS from the closest Interstate junction to the destination. The guide is for the western states and part of Canada, and it shows the names and addresses, but also Cautions, the permanent closures, and the sites that have different names for the same site. The guide has sample descriptions from the Official websites when possible, and the author's notes about many of the sites. Although GPS of each intersection is provided, a person that does not have GPS can easily follow the road turn-by-turn descriptions. There are over 150 sites listed for the 13 states and Canada. If you like railroads, then a trip out west can keep you occupied for weeks, if not months.

Book excerpt: Tourism by High Speed Rail The United States of America is one of the most visited destinations for worldwide tourism, and most of the foreign tourist spend a thousand or more dollars on airfare, rental cars, motels, restaurants, entry tickets, gifts, etc., when visiting. The vast majority of these 'foreign' tourist are from countries like Japan, China, and Europe that has had U.S.A. designed (originally) HSR systems, and therefore are familiar with 'riding the rails'. These tourist are on strict timetables and do NOT have the time to drive many hours or days between U.S.A. tour locations, this is especially true of the American Southwest, where our National Parks (NPS) are few and far between. Airlines Our airlines cater to our Business communities, and NOT to our tourist industry, therefore places like Tucson, Benson, Willcox, Tombstone, Sierra Vista, and Douglas, Arizona are NOT fully or at all served by most direct flight airlines, or any airline. Amtrak There is Amtrak rail and there was in the past rail services to these popular tourist locations, but in most instances no longer. People Mover System A HSR People Mover System (HSRPMS) would open up these areas to tens of thousands of additional American and Foreign Tourist, thus bringing in millions of extra dollars to the local economies each year. Tourist Loops There are 'tourist' loops throughout the U.S.A., i.e., the Grand Circle Loop of the American Southwest that covers the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Bryce Canyon National Park, the Grand Canyon (North Rim), Zion National Park, and Lake Powell Author The author has been involved in the Railroad Industry for several decades, and is also a recognized author of quality tour and touring guide manuals.
