Mountain Peaks

Mountain Peaks is an fictional Amtrak train that stops at Fairview. The train serves California, Chicago and Washington, DC, with Fairview being an intermediate stop. The train gets a fresh new pair of locomotives while at Chicago.

Behind the scenes
In reality, no Amtrak train is capable traveling the full 4,000 miles (6,437 km). Long distance trains in America head to and from Chicago and Washington, DC, or to and from Chicago and California. The Mountain Peaks trains make travels to New York from Washington, DC, more viable within the narrative while still keeping Fairview state's location vague.
