Project one: Amtrak train route map

My selection for this project will be the California Zephyr. After seeing some imagery about the trail/trip and all the scenery I think it has a loot of potential for the use of color. Still, I also would like to experiment with a 2 or 3 color based concept. I am also thinking maybe focusing on the fact that Amtrak was a very symbolic company for the US without forgetting about the highlights of the ride.

I am not sure yet if I want to use a modern typeface like Futura or keep it classic and vintage with something like Goudy Oldstyle. I guess we'll have to find out what works better.
