火車車廂分為頭等和二等。頭等車廂叫做 pullman，就是臥鋪，每位旅客都訂有專供睡覺休息用的鋪位(berth)。二等車廂就是 coach，是一般的普通座位。在橫跨美國大陸的長途火車上，另外設有二層的了望車廂(vista-dome car)、餐車(dinning car)、自助餐車(buffet car)和交誼餐車(club lounge car)等。為了方便外國旅客觀光游覽，鐵路公司特別出售鐵路優(yōu)待證(USA Rail Pass)，價格相當低廉。  

 美國最大的鐵路公司叫 Amtrak (the National Railway Passenger Corporation 國家鐵路客運公司)，它是由國會在1971年創(chuàng)建，用以改善城市間鐵路客運。今天，Amtrak 系統(tǒng)已經覆蓋美國44州500多個城市，鐵路線長達25,000英里。
