Will I Ride AMTRAK Again? - The Pennsylvanian / Part 2

[@oakspro2998]

I commute on the Pennsylvanian and Keystone Service 2-3 times a week to Pittsburg, Philly, and NYC. It never gets old, and the changes in season and weather are captivating!

This is why I loved travelling by train. I am 52 years old and spent most of my life in New Hampshire. Sure day trips with my mom to various places in New Hampshire was exciting but to be able to travel outside of the 'norm' of where you live and see other small towns, big cities and in between gives you this amazing experience you never forget.

[@jqueen1380]

I love being able to see the back views of the towns that one never gets to see.

That's probably my favorite part of riding the rails. The routes you take are absolutely beautiful, stuff you'll never see by car. Some of these routes are 100 plus years old. Station in the beginning was absolutely beautiful as well

Love these videos. Amtrak has a great future as they continue to upgrade their cars and engines. I always enjoy the content of JP Videos. It's just a shame that I am unable to get through them without constant interpretation from my mom. But she is dealing with serious mental issues as a result of her advanced dementia. Anyway I am sad about your channel changes but, completely 100% understand and totally support you! You're Sunday Night Live was fun. Unfortunately being back to work at 5 am has been a big change for me but, it gives me a free afternoon to catch up on house and yard work. I don't have a life currently but, I won't put my mom in a nursing home. She raised me and took care of me in 2004 when I had Cancer. Yes I'm a survivor and believe I was saved so as I could pay it back to my mom. I will always try and catch your videos and always Jay give it a thumbs up! Please give my warmest regards to Jill and Lili. You are truly blessed with an incredible family and awesome friends. God bless my friend...always Jeff

This might be my favorite video of yours so far! I just loved watching out the window seeing all the sights of Pennsylvania's cities, small towns, countryside, and rail yards. I got to ride trains a lot when I was a kid and this just brings back all those wonderful memories of gazing out the window in wonder at all there was to see. What a total bummer about Horseshoe Curve! Some lucky railfan out there is no doubt enjoying his or her footage of three trains passing through at once lol! Better luck next time, and I'm glad to hear there will be a next time. I'd definitely like to start traveling by train, and next time I go to Florida I may do the Auto Train from Virginia to keep some mileage off my truck. A friend of mine did that a few years ago, got a roomette, and said it was a great experience. Thanks for sharing your experience, and I certainly look forward to your future trips!

We finally made it safely to our destination, 13 hours late. 😒

I guess it was finished, but it wasn’t big enough for the new trains and it was never used. Definitely a cool thing to see. I guess another company was going to store gas, and they blocked it off, but it didn’t work out.
