Right?! this dude is wholesome as hell. I took the train from Chicago to New Orleans after my grandmother insisted because that is how she travelled from Chicago to her grandparents farm wayyyy down in Mississippi. It was one of the best travel experiences that I have had. Also was so cool to experience what my grandmother had experienced 60 plus years later.

Hey Mr. Edmond. Awesome video. My name is Alan Schechter I am an Amtrak Employee out of Seattle Washington. You did a great job highlighting the train. The Amtrak Crescent is a beautiful run from New Orleans Louisiana to New York City and Pennsylvania Station. I currently work Amtrak Empire Builder between Seattle Washington and Chicago Illinois. I am a Lead Service Attendant and look forward to seeing you someday on one of our Amtrak Trains!!!!!!

Will, your video is really well thought-out and well edited. Thanks for posting it. I am curious, though, wondering why so many people really hate riding Amtrak and write really bad reviews of it, especially on TripAdvisor. I think they approach it with the wrong attitude. It's not the Uptown Hilton, or first class flying. It's a train, with bumps and stops and slow pace and sometimes forcing you to do without things like hot water or working toilets! If you can get yourself into the pace and put up with the inconveniences, it sounds like the way to go. I rode cross country in the days far before Amtrak came along, and still have fond memories, like a full turkey dinner in August in a dining car with white linen tablecloths! Thanks again and keep havin' fun. I have subscribed.

I agree. Most people approach it with a bad attitude. We live in a society where people want everything fast and quick. Amtrak isn't that. You are suppose to relax and enjoy the scenery and the small hiccups that sometimes comes with train travel. If I'm delayed, it dIdn't matter to me on a train because I've planned time for a delay just in case. You had an awesome experience back in the day as well. Glad you are following the journey. Thanks again.

The gentleman who explained the situation with Superliner equipment being unable to go through the Hudson River tunnels is correct. They are too big. However, NJ Transit's Bombardier-made bi-level cars were designed to be able to fit into the tunnels, so while Amtrak can't run Superliners into NY Penn Station, NJ Transit does run bi-level trains into PSNY. Another problem for the Superliners is that they only have doors capable of serving low platforms. Penn Station only has high platforms.

Thanks Will. I was glad to see your recent video of the Crescent. I recently learned that dining service had been discontinued on the Crescent and other East coast routes in September, 2019. I was glad to see you still had access to the Cafe car. We're planning a trip this fall on the Crescent from Gainesville, GA to New Orleans and from there to San Antonio on the Sunset. I'm still trying to decide if having the Roomette as opposed to a Coach seat is worth it and I think it is since there will be two of us. You did a great job on this project and it helped me a lot.

Great video! Lots of good info. They do bring the lights down in the evening, but not til later. I looooove trains. I took the Seattle-LA Coast Starlight (I think it was called) in coach and really enjoyed it, despite the lack of a bed. The chairs fold lean back quite a ways and if you use your luggage as a foot rest you can get mostly horizontal. I love watching the landscape roll by, love the quiet meditative quality. Bring a book and just chill - low stress, lovely views, quiet and way more comfortable than flying. Oh, and the rocking is not nauseating, like boats. Just gentle rocking 😴😛

Sorry if you already done it -- maybe even done a video about it -- but New Orleans to LA (the Sunset Limited) !!! Do it! We live in Houston, so we started there -- and there are possibilities, I think, from Chicago to San Antonio where some of the cars on that train join up with the train coming from New Orleans to continue on to LA. The station in SA is near the Alamodome and the station in LA is awesome (we've all seen it it TV shows and /or Movies) -- and it's in a cool part of LA from which to start a journey around ALL there is to see and experience there ! AND, I very much enjoy your videos -- I've only just "found" you (watching videos about Ashevillle, NC). You're energy is very positive -- love it!

Bedroom is definitely the way to go (if you can afford it). This train also has a business class car.

Fellow rail enthusiast, here, and a new subbie. I enjoyed your vlog so much, from the thorough content to your vivacious spirit and humor. That was so cool when you waltzed right up into the sleeper car. I remember, back in November, I was on an East Coast Amtrak train and we were on a smoking break/fresh-air break at Albany, and across the platform was a train waiting in the station and headed for Chicago. I was so excited that the conductor of that train gave me a private tour of the sleeping car. I was sitting down, spinning around (as you did in your vid) -- oh man, so much room! I can't wait to do my first overnight train: Empire Builder, for sure. I plan to do my trip via Amtrak Vacations; after riding across the Midwest to the Pacific, there's a motorcoach to Vancouver (from Seattle, I think), and then from Vancouver to Toronto by VIA Rail Canada. But I also want to ride the Crescent because you showed us how cool it is, AND I've got to see New Orleans!!! Thank you for the excellent adventure by rail on Amtrak!

That's awesome Greg. I was only 3 years old at the time. I didn't get my first train set until 5 years old and I've been hooked every since then.

Will, loved your video! We have traveled from New Orleans to Chicago. And from San Antonio to Chicago. We live in the Chicago area so we are blessed with many options for train travel. Our next trip.....Seattle to Chicago.😊 Thanks for all your enthusiasm! Hopefully more people will explore the joy of train travel. ✅

I took the San Francisco Zephyr in 1978. DC to Chicago, change in Chicago. 5 nights 4 days. All in coach. I packed 12 books, a blanket and a small pillow with roadrunner on it. Brilliant journey. I was young, so coach was okay. I even washed my hair daily ( oh VANITY!) In the sink, because they had foot pedal control of the sink taps! The SanFrancisco Zephyr route went to places like Ottumwa, IA, but crossed the Great Salt Lake and Cheyenne WY, Sparks instead of Reno, NV. The route ended on Oakland.

This looked like so much fun! I took a train trip with my mom & great aunts when I was about 3, lol. Of course I don’t remember that adventure, but my mom says she’ll never forget it - I was a handful 🤣 I really enjoyed the conversations with the other passengers. I’m going to have to book an Amtrak trip.

My mother’s partner was a retired Amtrak conductor. He regularly ran the train between Illinois and New Orleans. His train stories were fascinating. He and my mother are now laid to rest beside each other in a beautiful cemetery in Memphis.

Your positive attitude and excitement are infectious! Just about everything I have read about Amtrak has been horrible and negative. This is one of the few positive reviews. Yours is by far the best. I have never rode the train, but I want to try it. I am also in Atlanta and wanted a review from the Atlanta station. I am now excited to try it because of your review. Thank you!

Thanks for the love LaTonya! The train ride from Atlanta to New Orleans is a breeze. And it’s super affordable. I did coach class and only spent $130! With the prices of gas you can’t beat that. Hope you check out my new Amtrak video.
