Play today's puzzleHow the train game works
Each day one real Amtrak route is the answer -- Acela, Pacific Surfliner, Empire Builder, Crescent, any of the 40+ named routes. Clues progressively reveal: annual ridership tier, endpoint states, number of stops, the dominant region, and a partial map.
Rail enthusiasts will know the Northeast Corridor trains instantly from ridership alone. The long-distance routes are where it gets fun -- figuring out that a 40-stop Chicago-departure route is the Empire Builder vs the California Zephyr takes real knowledge.
