There is seriously no better feeling than reading a good book with the beautiful scenery flying by in the observation car. it's downright magical

In 1970 i took one of the last original California zephyr Pullman from Marysville ca to Chicago i had a sleeper what a trip going acrossed the Bonneville salt flats and watching the sun go down in the last car with all the windows what a sunset!!!! It was a nineteen forty era pullman it was great!

You are such a kind mannered youg man, you appreciate even the most awful American sweet cakes and pastry. Great video!

[@mariemorgan7759]

As soon as I saw the Sears Tower from your view window, I knew you arrived in my childhood home Chicago. Sorry that you got the old 1970s sleeper room, Amtrak really should have renovated those years ago. Glad you liked the scenery of the western states and your meals.❤️🙏

[@sitiokolibri6372]

During 34 years I travelled around the world as a businessman for important international company. I left everything to leave at this moment in my small farm enjoying the nature, in South of Brazil. But when I see your video, I can remembering a lot of places I could put my foot. Very nice.

[@timmellin2815]

Those little half rooms are less expensive and the beds fold down in a different direction, so your sleep is better because you are moving with the flow of the train motion; whereas in the big sleeper rooms, you are being jostled uncomfortably in an opposite direction of the train motion, Better to book two of the smaller rooms on oppositie sides of the aisle (if you are travelling w/ someone) and then you have the option of viewing the best scenery from either side of the train, w/out having to compete w/ the standees' in the aisle. No shower in the smaller rooms, but not an issue because the small shower in the sleeper car is inconvenient and not used because everyone uses the larger shower rooms down the hall, anyway.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

My pleasure Kuga's Travel. Thank you for taking us along for the ride across America with you. I enjoyed it as much as you did. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 👍🏽

[@himbourbanist]

thanks for riding our trains here in America. Amtrak has its problems, its equipment may be old and it's no high-speed rail, but I think it's always a pleasant and enjoyable way to travel and we're lucky we have it.

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

I hope we expand on it. Train trips are the most pleasant one I have ever got to experience even if it is just Amtrak

[@TheLordAI]

Yeah Amtrak is phasing in their new passenger cars & locomotives looks to me like he got himself an older car

[@FOROALMACEN]

That's the Amtrak beauty 😍

[@himbourbanist]

@@neurofiedyamato8763 I really do too. I love Amtrak even for its problems. It's the best way to travel in our country. The new funding will take a bit to be realized with new trains, new infrastructure, and new routes, but by the 2030's it will look like a whole new system.

[@9size2me]

Um thats a hard no.

[@thomasstambaugh5181]

I enjoyed the video. Just a hint about the Viewliner bedroom, though you probably already learned this. First, the single seat next to the bathroom folds up and stows against the corner leaving plenty of room to use the shower and bath. The en-suite shower is why your bedroom costs so much more, I'm surprised you didn't try it. It's much more comfortable than the shared shower. Regarding the "beatbox door" -- that's a door that opens to allow two adjoining bedrooms to be joined for families. You have some cardboard safety flyers in the pocket next to the table. There are one or two "sweet spots" in the door where you can jam the cardboard between the door and its frame. That will stop the annoying rattle. I do this while the train is rolling, so that I can find just the right spot. At 5:11 in your video, you can see where a prior traveler made an attempt. Once you find the right spot for the cardboard, the rattling will stop. I know this shouldn't happen, but it does. FWIW, the same happens in the new Viewliner II bedrooms as well. I've booked a trip on the Zephyr next January, out to Emeryville and back the next day. I take an Amtrak vacation each year, and next January I'll be doing a round-trip between Boston and Emeryville. I'll be on the Lakeshore from Boston to Chicago, then the Zephyr, then making the same trip back. I really enjoy riding in the observation car and eating in the diner. I enjoy making new friends while watching the scenery slide by.

Thank you for allowing us to share your epic journey. You did a great job !!

What a wonderful video. I didn't think I would like a video with subtitles but you did a magnificent job. I was worried that coming from a country with superb trains you would find many faults with Amtrak; we hear about that all the time. Instead, your very positive came through. I am inspired to consider such a journey myself. Thank you

[@kastandlee]

While you were having breakfast, or at least about 30 minutes before arriving in Reno, if you had looked out to the left, you might have seen me waving to your train, as it goes right past my house in Fernley, Nevada. The CZ is a wonderful trip, and I'm glad that you got to experience it.

[@buddyhenson2559]

There are a lot of Amtrak trip reviews, but I really enjoyed yours. You covered the important points, and provided great commentary and video. Thanks!

[@RVail623]

In "days of old" (pre-Amtrak) you could reserve a sleeper car compartment from NYC's Grand Central Station (via Chicago) all the way to San Francisco. The NYC to Chicago's LaSalle Street Station portion would be via the New York Central's "Lake Shore Limited", then your train car would be shuttled over to Chicago's Union Station. Then continue on to San Francisco.

[@christopherstephans3383]

Uh, Oakland, actually. Up until some time in the 1950s, the train would terminate at a ferry boat pier for a water crossing to San Francisco. After ferry service was discontinued, it was (and continues to be) connecting busses across the Bay.

[@RVail623]

@@christopherstephans3383 A "Coast to Coast" NYC - Los Angeles sleeper thru-car ticket could also be obtained during the same time period (pre-Amtrak). Combining New York Central & then AT&SF's "Super Chief" for the west of Chicago portion.

I rode train from New Orleans to San Francisco 1974. Train hasn't changed, I'm sure they changed the seats, beds but everything is the same. Food is done different, we had a dinner car with cloth napkins, tablecloth. We had the menu to choose which meal. Also had a lil snack store downstairs... Going thru Texas was the most fun, people racing the train when road was along side the train tracks.

[@rezaalan3991]

What a great trip, from East Coast to West Coast by Amtrak. Yeah, Lake Shore Limited is the fastest way by train from New York to Chicago via Upstate New York, but if you want more scenic, take the Cardinal. Unfortunately you got the older generation of bedroom, which some part is "beatboxing". Something interesting to see when you boarding the California Zephyr is the train announcement. Rockies area never disappointed, and also it's great to mention all natural landscape around California Zephyr route.

[@jacolynS-y7d]

This is a wonderful episode, loads of appreciation for taking us on this great travel experience through beautiful America, Amtrak doing a great job, hope this reality would be on my bucket list by the grace of God, really really enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of this wonderfully amazing video.

Because of the Japan rail enthusiast videos, I myself got on the Amtrak and rode it a very short way to the next town down the line, got off and rode the next one back. It was fun!

[@leroystea8069]

Thank you for sharing this. Your camera picks up details really well. Some of your shots of the mountains and big cities looked almost 3D. Was wonderful. When I was about 12 years old I rode the train from Detroit Michigan, to Chicago and then into Los Angeles California. On the same Amtrak Trains. This was back in the late 1960s...which goes to show how old our trains are in the U.S. We were in economy seating which worked out fine.

Hi...You stayed one night in Chicago so the trip by train is. only 4 days. And your choice of spending a lot of money for a bedroom was unfortunate. You get a bit more room and an in-room shower but you didn't need the room and you didn't even use your in room shower. By the way, you can use a shower in Amtrak's Metropolitan Lounge if you want during the 5 hour layover. I have taken ther California Zephyr many times...a real treat for Americans too. Reminds Americans of what a beautiful and magnificent country we have...worth compromising on our differences to preserve it. I'm impressed that this video got 1.8 million views in only 2 months. Some of the best KZbinrs of the US only get a fraction of that number. Congratulations.
