San Antonio

"The Sunset Limited’s next stop after Houston is San Antonio - about five hours apart, per schedule. In contrast to Houston, San Antonio’s station is located downtown and right next to the Alamodome. It is less than a mile to many of the major tourist attractions - Tower of the Americas, The Riverwalk & The Alamo - as well as surrounded by a variety of eateries and hotels. One downside, however, is the train’s scheduled arrival of 12:05 a.m. With that being said, San Antonio is an excellent place to break up your journey west and spend a couple of days, while you wait for the next train to come through. Another note is the train’s scheduled departure from San Antonio is 2:45 a.m. Aside from a major service stop for the train, the tri-weekly Sunset Limited joins up - becoming one train - with the daily Texas Eagle here for the trip west toward LA. Therefore, if on-time, you have at least 2.5 hours to wander about (if you’re a night owl!) Or….If you are adventurous, savvy and a little risky, on one of your days between, you could take the daily Texas Eagle toward Chicago, traveling about 2.5 hours north to Austin, Texas and spend the day before coming back that same night on the southbound Eagle."
