Rail Passes

Travelling by train is a cost effective way of getting around in many countries where rail passes exist. Standards are often more comfortable than travelling long distance by coach as it may be possible to book sleeper berths.

In the States there is Amtrak:

Most countries within Asia have cheap rail travel but few offer travel passes. Most travellers combine sections with coach trips and cheap internal flights.
