You Don't Need a Car to Make Summer Dreams Come True

If you have dreams of taking a summer journey but don't have a car or don't want to drive, Amtrak has you covered. Take a trip on the Pere Marquette to St. Joseph and relax in comfort, checking out the coastal scenery along the way.

The reasons to take a train? No traffic, no arguing over maps, no possible calls to AAA, and naps are plentiful. When you take Amtrak's Pere Marquette, you'll travel a route along Lake Michigan that connects five cities from Grand Rapids to Chicago. In St. Joseph, you still don't need a car to check out all the shopping, dining, and festivals. Don't let go of your scenic road trip! Just take it to the rails instead.
