What are the best luxury sleeper trains in the USA?

I’m dreaming of a train journey across the USA, especially with the luxury sleeper options available. I’ve heard some amazing stories from friends, and I’m eager to learn about which routes truly shine. Combining comfort with stunning natural scenery seems like the perfect way to travel.

Are there specific trains known for their beautiful views or top-notch service? I’ve heard rave reviews about the California Zephyr and its incredible sights through the Rocky Mountains. But what about some of the lesser-known routes? Are they worth considering for a unique experience?

If you’ve traveled on a luxury sleeper train recently, what was the highlight of your trip? Do you think it was worth the splurge? I’m looking forward to hearing your experiences!

If you’re looking for beautiful views, the Empire Builder runs from Chicago to the Pacific Northwest and has some insane scenery along Lake Superior. I took it a couple of years ago and the sunset over the lake was gorgeous. Definitely worth checking out!
