Lol, I was just watching this on KTX set #43, what a weird coincidence. 😂 Nice video, they're very cool trains!

[@LonestarTrips]

Ha, what a coincidence! Hope you enjoyed your ride, and safe travels! Love your videos btw.

[@SuperalbsTravels]

@@LonestarTrips Thank you!!!! 😁

[@MarylandRailfanner-w2t]

Remind me of the train sets

[@charleskiel2299]

I used to love to take this train to Seoul from DonDaegu when I was in the Army. (I was stationed in a small town north of Daegu). Probably the most comfortable and reliably punctual train service I ever took... Which includes Deutsche Bahn's Intercity and Intercity Express services. Never did splurge on first Class though

[@LonestarTrips]

It's an incredible train, and I can't imagine how much it opened up travel and improved commerce throughout Korea when it was introduced. Although the particular trainsets in this video are the older ones, I definitely agree they're incredibly comfortable. Even economy class seemed more than reasonable for long distance travel.

@@charleskiel2299 were u stationed at Cp Carroll? WaeGwan?

[@charleskiel2299]

@@vinnyoh4274 yes I was

[@charleskiel2299]

@@LonestarTrips Yes, I never even thought there was a first class as economy was more than comfortable enough for the 90 minute ride to Seoul. Train travel in Korea is great in general and the only time it wasn't comfortable was during the Chosok (lunar new year) Holiday.... or if you were stuck on the cheapest train in August (Which I was once).

[@longaugust]

I’m on Camp Carroll. Taking this train from Seoul to Daegu tomorrow.

[@OllieRamone]

Another fine video. Glad to have a narrated video of this train. Wish we had more high speed rail in the US.

[@LonestarTrips]

Thanks a lot. Hopefully in the next decade or so we'll see a greater development of high speed rail in the US. It seems like we're heading in that direction as of late, but only time will tell if the many planned projects actually get built.

[@iu2]

"Wish we had more high speed rail in the US." More? That would imply that the US already has high speed rail, which it doesn't.

[@sf8681]

You’re back in my happy place! Love it!

[@ZapFlashD]

Damn next week's video looks like fun! I didn't know that there was a newer Shinkansen. The last one I heard about was the N700S. Love the livery!

[@LonestarTrips]

The new trains are beautiful, both inside and out. Plus they still had that “new train smell” when I rode on them.

[@NameReveal-yy7qb]

Congratulations on 30k

[@LonestarTrips]

Thank you!

[@MrThecroatian]

The library is a nice touch.

[@LonestarTrips]

Agreed. For such a cheap upgrade, it’s a nice touch

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Nice one! I really enjoyed exploring Korea by train. ✌️ When were you there?

[@LonestarTrips]

Thanks! Korea is such a beautiful country. It was a shame I didn’t have more than a day to film, though. I was there right at the end of May.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

@@LonestarTrips it certainly is - the countryside was wonderful. I was there at the end of May too!

[@LonestarTrips]

What a coincidence! I was only there for 3 days though, as the majority of that trip was to Japan, but it was still nice to explore the country.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

@@LonestarTrips Oh nice. Love Japan (the trains are unbeatable!) but also loved South Korea. Had just over two weeks to explore and really enjoyed it.

[@nolantherailfan5048]

You need to try out Northeast regional train 157 which goes from Norfolk Virginia to Springfield Massachusetts with a very unique two locomotive swaps. The diesel gets swapped out for an electric in DC than you go back to a diesel in New Haven Connecticut

[@vinnyoh4274]

I really hope that your video on the new EMU KTX is coming. 👀👀

[@LonestarTrips]

It’ll be coming soon!

[@vinceghio]

My grandmother who is Korean told me it’s pronounced Pusan

[@LonestarTrips]

I was traveling with a Korean local throughout my filming in Korea, and he never mentioned it being pronounced "pusan." Could be a regional dialect kind of thing.

[@vinceghio]

@@LonestarTrips yes I always called it how you did until she told me. Nice video keep up the good work.

[@LonestarTrips]

@@vinceghio Interesting. And will do!

Did you say the chair in economy had a 6” pitch???

[@LonestarTrips]

No I said there was 6 inches of legroom, or room between my knees and the next seat.

[@kevanhubbard9673]

You should try to bash out the North Korean railways as I've just been reading that they are reopening to tourists.

[@LonestarTrips]

I really wanted to, but it didn’t work with my schedule.

[@AmtrakNerd42]

High speed is cool but I like classic North American diesels better. Great video btw!

[@chaseincats]

this looks more like amtrak than shinkansen - no thanks

[@longaugust]

Walk then 🤷🏻

[@Kakkoii_otoko]

A lot of KTX trains are showing their age, have rust, look worn out and lost their appeal. The Shinkansen in Japan is 100 times better.

[@hazelnut3794]

KTX cheongryong >>>> almost takoyaki bullet trains, keeep crying forever lol
