For the last 25 years I have made 2 extended AMTRAK trips a year. I grew up in Washington so at least half the trips go there. I have been trying to find different routes there. There are quite a few ways to do this. Many of my trips are to places that I had never been before. I always tried to save up enough money to get a sleeper when available. I have discovered that most of my fellow travelers are relaxed and pleasant companions. None have been annoyed by the time a trip takes otherwise we would be on an airplane. I have just turned 90, so my real traveling days are over. Watching your video brings me so many delightful and enjoyable memories. Just because I cry like a baby watching them the tears are tears of joy. Blessings Jim

As always a fabulous video. Looks great on my new 65 inch 4K OLED TV. Those Amfleet cars still look great after all these years. I'm more than a little bias since my dad was an electrical design enginner on this project. He spent his entire career at the Budd Company's Red Lion Plant in the Northeast section of Philadelphia. Other projects he worked on were the original RDC, the old PTC, later SEPTA Market Street Eleavated Subway cars which were lovinglee referd to as the Almond Joy cars because of the three exaust fans on the top of each car. PTC and the city of Philadelphia did not want to spend the money to air condition each car. He also worked on New York MTA subway cars, the original Metro Liner, Metro North passenger cars, Chicago CTA Subway cars, Pennsylvania and Reading Railroad Stainless Steal MU cars, the SPV2000 which was supposed to replace the origianal RDC's and I think his final projedt before Budd went out of busines was the first of the Amtrak Supperliner cars
