sounds absolutely interesting! Even tough there not that many lines for such a big country on that card, I'm absolutely fascinated to hear there is indeed still a railway network existing in the US!

Does it work well? (Rather like italian trains or like thai trains? ;o)) Are the trains comfortable?

After all I might reconsider my decision about not going to the US in the near/midterm future...

how much are tickets? Say I wanted to make a long trip going from LA up to Fresno and then some way to NY.

700 bucks for RailPass that covers the whole US and Canada for 30 days travels.

200 or 220 for Regions (like West, South, etc)

Amtrak trains are like Italian trains, more or less. Amtrak rails system work reasonably well but much of it aren't used (and they keep losing money).

Americans prefer to drive or fly.

The national Rail Pass (just cover USA) costs 550 (only furiner is eligible) for 30 days pass. Half that for 15 days.

It's a good bargain.
