It may be the smallest state, but it has a lot to offer. And the train is the perfect way to explore the length and breadth of Rhode Island. Travel on the Northeast Regional and save 15% with our "Visit Rhode Island" offer, available through December 28, 2011.

Visit Providence, a hotbed of commerce, culture, history and fine eateries. Hop back on the train and visit beautiful Kingston. Be sure to bring a camera for your leisurely stroll around Kingston Village to capture its fine architecture. And just a short train ride away is Westerly, a delightful community nestled on the south shore of the state.

The 15% you'll save on the train ticket is cash in your pocket to spend wherever you please.
