AMTRAK from Kansas City to Chicago and Cleveland!!!

[@adinaratzlaff246]

I'm thinking of taking Amtrak from KC MO to Chicago. Thanks for sharing this video!

The most direct route is the Southwest Chief. I took the scenic route instead here.

I liked your video feeling like I was riding the trains looking out the window myself. Around 15-25 years ago I rode these trains making connections in Chicago or Kansas City all part of riding all the AMTRAK rail west of St. Louis originating from there in 5 weekend to weekend trips. Only the long distance Texas Eagle goes through St. Louis. I liked exploring some on refuel stops but needed to be careful to be back in time. I wonder if you could have made the short walk visit over to the St. Louis Union Station like that in a large airport to see its restored hotel and all the work done for its entertainment complex including a giant ferris wheel and aquarium. You would have really liked seeing the grand lobby of the St. Louis Union Station hotel. Maybe another time. I also liked seeing your experience riding the high speed portion for the U.S. on the recently completed AMTRAK dedicated track between STL and Chicago.

Great video Nate. I noticed that the big stations are like our Union Station in Los Angeles, no place to sit anywhere, if you want to sit you sit on the floor.

[@nates.vintage.trains]

Well, I did not show the Amtrak waiting room. But it did not have much sitting area.

You forgot to show the stop at Sedalia. It has a nice station and was the home of America's Mozart, Scott Joplin.

[@nates.vintage.trains]

I know Scott Joplin, great composer. Don’t know what happened to Sedalia.

Nice video. How fast did the train go?

[@nates.vintage.trains]

I had an app that gave 110mph as the top speed through central Illinois.

Great video! We’re riding business class or coach on these trains?

[@nates.vintage.trains]

Coach. Still very nice seats.

This channel feels like it was done by Young Sheldon? 😅

[@nates.vintage.trains]

Umm, okay. Never watched the show or Big Bang Theory.

[@Sidicas]

​@@nates.vintage.trains You should. He likes trains too. But anyway, it's a good video.
