Good video. Get rid of the music and provide a commentary or just the sound of what’s happening around you is good.

On the last car (16), was the last door locked, or could one open it and look outside?

What is the difference between a deluxe sleeping car (car 13 - 5341) and a sleeping car?

The train station in Houston is pitiful, for being such a large city.

Excellent video!

I like this

Im gonna take this train here soon. Im a former bus driver of 15 years, now a trucker. So anything related to transportation is in my blood. And I grew up next to a double tracked CSX mainline but have nevee rode an Amtrak. Thats going to change.

Amtrak is the best

This guy posts a vid of taking a train and it starts with him in NJ and he boards the train in Virginia. He's gotta talk shit about Newark meanwhile he passes by Camden, Philly, and Baltimore. Makes sense.

It was a great experience for you man, indeed!! I live in México, maybe in a near future could visit some places connected by trains and enjoy some travels. Thank you for share with us, regards.

12:25 I don't know what you mean. Seems that many passengers turned off their screens to go to sleep. Look closely and you will see seats that are occupied have their screen off.

I wish the Auto Train started closer to New York in New Jersey. It would be even more successful then! But it's not worth driving all the way to Virginia to use it..

Can you do the same thing in New York to Yankee Stadium?

Nice video…. Enjoyed the audio

5:01 wonder if this is a medical student…. Was interested in his convo. Lmfao.

Does the $1300 include cost to transport ur car?

Ok. Watching the cars being loaded is cool.

why did you go from NYC to Fredericksburg Va the go back to Lorton?

There are not many trains slower than trains in the USA

Thank you for the detailed glimpse into the Moynihan train centers. I have a disability haven’t been to the city in a few years, but live on Long Island and visited regularly, remember when the Moynihan center was just the post office. Shame they wait until people have passed away before naming things in their honor, Especially in this instance, as Moynihan was a great proponent of doing exactly what they did to this space. Thanks for posting such a detailed walk-through!❤

Two vital infos----- you will hate a wet shower (sit down Johnny) and you will want to drive away from your reserved parking spot. For one, try this, every time you wanna sit down on the toilet, it and the floor around it is wet. You can't lower your pants or your undies without getting them wet..... You can't take them off without removing your shoes and you can't put your feet down where your socks on without getting them wet from the wet floor. Imagine that every time you're on the toilet and you will soon learn you want to shower and then "Johnny pot" to be separate. 2nd, pull your converted van into a nice spot reserved for you or into a comfortable camping spot and then realize that in order to hold those spots, you will have to leave there in the very vehicle that brought you in there. I can ride a short distance to the grocery or the our bus tour departure pointin a tiny towable car, meanwhile knowing my camping spot is held down by my primary vehicle. When you're tiny toy will car brings you back to your camping spot, you can unload into a big open lay-back chair in your van which is still sitting there waiting for your return.

I have ridden in this type of room and enjoyed it. My Late Wife and I had the Attendent just pull out the bottom bunk which was ok. That way we didn't use the top bunk except for the pillows and extra cover.

Mixed green salad with baby Brie, flat iron steak and flourless chocolate torte are my go to items

This has all the ambience of an emergency room.

I'm a senior and purchased a handicapped accessible bedroom. This trip is taking place from WDC to Dallas Texas in June 2024. I paid just shy of $1900.00 round-trip and nearly 700.00 for my adult grandchild as my companion who will be assisting me. I'm now wondering if we should've taken the auto train. I seemed to be communicating with a " don't ask, no answer person when booking. I guess you are expected to know what Amtrak offers. With the amount of money paid, it sure would be nice of them if they would include the positive information along with the information of the rules about forfeiting you trip.

Was the $1300 for one way, or including a return trip?

Is there a shuttle to help seniors or someone handicapped walk all the way to their car?

Sadly the Anderson area killed the private cars and Gardner is just as bad

My wife and I rode the Viewliner I from Tampa to DC and rode back on the Viewliner II. We preferred having the toilet in the Roomette especially when one needs to use one in the middle of the night. Compared to flying, I prefer traveling by rail. I hate driving to the airport and taking off my shoes and emptying my pockets and weighing my luggage and walking a mile to my gate. And parking at the airport is an extra cost. Travelling by train is so much less stressful and the ride itself is relaxing. My wife and I are going back to DC in October and we’re going by Amtrak.

It looks fun, but it looks too narrow.

So can you get to your luggage?

how do smokers survive?

Foreleaf, it's a damn shame Ben Stiller took your story and didn't give you royalties from the profits of Tropic Blunder.

Great video! I just completed a round trip journey to California and although I enjoyed the trip my experience wasn’t as good as yours. Poor service ,dirty sleeping cars and rough ride. Your cars were much nicer than those on the Zephyr!

Great video.

Great video!

Apparently demand on the east coast makes this feasible on a frequent schedule. A shorter version running on a less frequent schedule across the western Empire Builder type routes might work for many.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🚆🚆🚆🚅🚅🚃

I think it would be very enjoyable . The cost is high

How much storage do you need on a 14 hour trip?

In the early 1980s, I bought a one way Amtrak ticket from Quantico, VA (where I was stationed with the US Navy) to Norfolk, VA (where my spouse was stationed). The train didn't stop at first...and when it finally did, the conductor walked toward me to get me to the right car. I boarded, and was delighted with the experience. My spouse had contacted a friend who was on the train who escorted me til I left the train in Norfolk. Coffee was offered, but nothing else as it wasn't that long a trip. I was impressed with the conductors helping me on and off the train, and grateful for the escort who saw my spouse before I did. If I had to do that trip over again, I'd definitely do it. I just would dress with comfortable clothes and low heeled shoes.

Nice and informative video. Yes, I would consider it. Thanks.

I have never done this. I think That I would like very much to experience this.

fell asleep waiting to see bedroom suite 👉speed it up!

If you wanted to go from Los Angeles Union Station to the San Diego Santa Fé Depot on the economy plan, take the Metrolink train from LA to Oceanside & transfer to the NCTD Coaster train to San Diego. Bring snacks with you from LA because the two commuter trains have no café food service. If you 0:14 want a better rail experience between LA & SD, take the Amtrak Surfliner Business Class. Take a window seat on the West facing side of the Superliner to get the best Ocean views. Get a West facing seat upstairs in the Superliner car for even better ocean views. The Amtrak Surfliner has café car service with a small bar service of mixed beverages. In Business Class, there is a snack box food service & cold canned beverages, included as part of your B-Class fare. The sunsets on the later afternoon Surfliner trains are quite beautiful in the summer months. Enjoy your rail trip!

Compare our passenger trains to Japan's. Ours are old, tired, and outdated. If they really want more people to ride, why don't they renovate and update the entire interior of their trains?

That is because they get billions of money from the government and operate on the basics while the CEO’s become billionaires!

Please tell me how a wheelchair can fit in anywhere on that train 🚂 please
