California has researched a plan to create a high speed "bullet" train from Los Angeles (LA) to San Francisco by the year 2030. This route would ideally get a train passenger from 1 end of California to the other in only 2 hours and 40 minutes. For now, however, a train ride from LA to San Francisco is a leisurely experience on Amtrak's Coast Starlight, providing a scenic trip along the Pacific coast of the United States. The route is the only train that travels nearly the whole length of the west coast, {{convert|1,377|mi}}, from Seattle to Los Angeles and back. The name was taken from 2 former Southern Pacific train names, the Coast Daylight and the Starlight. Now, it departs daily. This article will tell you how to travel by train from Los Angeles to San Francisco. | California has researched a plan to create a high speed "bullet" train from Los Angeles (LA) to San Francisco by the year 2030.

#Plan a leisurely trip. The Coast Starlight it not prized for its on-time record, but it is famous for its beautiful views. The trip itself takes approximately 12 hours, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., but that can vary based on Amtrak train schedules. | #Plan a leisurely trip.
