Amtrak is the most popular national train system in America. It's one means of travel that you can use. At times the ticket prices can seem a bit expensive. There are some things that you can do to make sure that you save some money so that you can get your travel at discounted price.
First of all just like most means of travel be sure that you book as early as possible. If you book two weeks or more in advance, typically you get a cheaper rate. Alternatively if you get non-refundable tickets, these are normally a bit cheaper as well. Of course there is risk here, but if you are sure you are going on the trip, it's an option to consider.
Check on multiple days to leave and come back. At times by leaving on a different day or coming back on a different day you can get much different prices. When planning a trip consider different dates for your trip to see if you can get a better rate.
With Amtrak it's typical to find online discount codes that can help you get your tickets cheaper. Before booking your ride be sure to check for discount codes.
Get an Amtrak savings card. These are typically a one time fee that will give you a discount on all rides for a whole year. Generally speaking this pays for itself on the first trip that you take.
At times planning a longer distance trip is cheaper. Don't only look for tickets to the destination you are going to but look at tickets for rides that go behind your destination. At times the longer trips are cheaper. Simply get off the train at your preferred destination and don't travel the whole way.
Be sure to bring your own food on your trip. The food on the train will be very expensive compared to just packing things on your own.
