    So, this is my first Simon video, being a longtime subscriber of people like Jeb Brooks and Noel Philips (and a 30 year vet of the travel industry). I'm hooked! He is like a ray of sunshine on a dreary, overcast day! Amtrak exists for appearances sake, nowadays. Most of the delays experienced are due to the fact that freight trains have the right of way on the rails. Having to pull over and let other trains pass (some of which have *_dozens_* of cars) can wreak havoc on a schedule. I live on the old Pennsylvania Railroad line and I've seen trains with as many as 34 cars. I've learned to take Amtrak's arrival and departure times as a wish list, unless it's from a huge city (and even then...). Also, Kiki for CEO!

    A friend and I took all the Amtrak trains around the US as well as a cruise to the inside passage on a month long travel journey. It was a great experience. All the conductors on Amtrak were top-notch. We would do it again. We started in Jeff City, went to St. Louis, then to Chi ago before starting the sleeper car "closet with a view" experience. We stayed a few days in Seattle at the Green Tortoise hostel. There was the wine train after the cruise, then criss-crossing all over in sleeper cars. We ended up in Kansas City and family drove us back home for a vacation in the Ozarks. The cruise was ok, too.

    That’s a great trip, back in 2004 I did LA to NY via Chicago in the sleeper seat, spent 3 days with a friend In Manhattan and took the train straight back to San Fran, I think it was 3 or 4 nights each time. On the way there we missed our connection in Chicago so they bussed us 90 mins away to a motel. All the other customers were a bit angry at the delay, but after 48 hours without a shower or bed I was in heaven. I remember my 1 month Amtrak unlimited pass was less than $400, I spent at least 10 nights on the train, it was the best trip ever.

    Simon, I love your positivity, politeness, and willingness to take the time to compliment and thank the people you interact with. It may seem like a small gesture but it is such a meaningful gesture that I appreciate so much and I'm so confident that the people who receive those gestures are so thankful for that little bit of time that you take to make your interaction with them meaningful.
    That type of kindness is contagious and spreads further beyond just that one person you interact with. They go on to share a similar kind and caring interaction with someone else. I always say leading by example is the best way to make a positive change in the world and you are definitely doing your part to lead with that positive, kind, polite, and caring example! Not every person you interact with will be kind but you carry on without letting it bother you too much. I understand that has to be very difficult, especially with the way people act online toward others as well, but you carry on with the best of positivity.
    Please don't ever change and keep spreading that kindness that is so meaningful. I have nothing but respect for that! Good on ya mate!

Many of us enjoy train travel...no rush...enjoying the moments...even if there are delays. You missed the peacefulness of travel by train in the US.

    I recently did LA to Portland on Amtrak.
    30 hours but did it in a standard seat carriage.
    Had to recline the seat and use the footrest to get a sleep,
    It was only $100 but the sleeper cabin was 3 times the price.
    Punishing but the views up the California coast and onto Oregon were fantastic 😊

    Chicago has a similar crime rate as 25 other big U.S. cities (adjusted for population).. most of my friends who have visited loved it.. not sure why everyone makes comments like they do w/o ever visiting. It just proves how ppl get influenced by the media.

    Amtrac will always be delayed because they use the freight tracks. So the freight trains have the priority.

    It just goes to show when you actually show interest and connect with other people in a positive way you get that back. The confidence solo travelling gives you is life changing, you have to go out of your way to connect with others when solo travelling, many people havnt developed to social skills and confidence that Simon Wilson has.

    Hello, I enjoyed your video. I've taken that same train ride myself and your right , along all of the rest stops there was no place to get a burger or anything else to eat. And one reason for the delays is because Freight Trains are given first priority, something to do with war materials being moved during WW2 or WW1
