About the Texas Eagle

What makes this route worth taking

  • Ozark Mountains through Arkansas
  • Serves Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio
  • Through-service to Los Angeles on Sun/Tue/Fri
  • Sightseer Lounge and dining car

Agent's tip

The Austin–Chicago sleeper is one of the best-value overnights in the network. Ask us about it.

Classes of service on this route

The Texas Eagle operates with Superliner II. Available accommodation:

Coach Roomette Bedroom Family Room

Sleeping-car fares on this route include all meals for everyone in the room, priority boarding, station lounge access where available and a dedicated car attendant. Once meals are priced separately, the gap between coach and a Roomette narrows considerably — and for two people travelling together it frequently closes entirely.
