Route Guide Slide Show Help

For faster browsing you may chose to preload all of the images contained in the route guide from the Route Guide Web Page. This may take two to three minutes or more via a high speed internet connection (cable or dsl). The first page of the route guide will appear replacing the 'Preload Image Page'' a few seconds after the loading bar turns completely blue.

The guide loading times will vary depending on the number of pages in the route guide and on whether or not the guide has been previously loaded on your computer.  

You may bypass the preloading step by clicking on "skip preloading" on the Route Guide Web Page. This will slow down your browse through the guide a bit since each page of the guide will then load separately when visited for the first time.

After the guide has finished loading, click on the Board Here arrow on the Route Guide Slide Show Cover Page to open the Route Guide Overview Page. This overview page shows the map of the entire route and a list of all of the station stops on the route.  

If you select and click on any city in the list of stops on the Route Guide Overview Page you will open the "Station Area Map" page for that city. The Station Area Map page contains a map of the local area, local transportation links, and other local information. A cluster of navigation buttons is provided in the upper left hand corner of each slide in the guide:

                                   

	Go back to previous slide		Go forward to next slide
	Return to previous slide viewed		Return to Route Overview page (Slide 2 of each show)
	Go to Amtrak/External Links Page (Slide 3 of each show)

If you page back from the selected "station area map slide" you will go to the "station to station" map showing the route that the train has taken from the previous station stop to the selected station stop.

If you page forward from the "station area map slide" you wil go to page 2 of station local information that presents a photograph of local interest. Clicking on the photo opens a link to a local history site or other site of local interest.

If you page forward from the local photo slide you will go to the "station to station" map from your selected station to the next stop on the route.

You may exit the Slide Show and open  our Home Page in a new browser tab or window at any time by clicking on generally located in the lower left hand corner of each page.

Similarly, you may return to the corresponding Route Guide Web Page from the Slide Show by clicking on .

That's All Folks - All Aboard and Enjoy Your Trip!
