How do you only have 3.4k subs?! I thought I just hadn't heard of you before and expected you to have a few hundred thousand at least. Honestly, this was a fantastic video, I hope the algorithm picks you up!
@@sebpic_ There is a new luxury train in Italy, the Orient Express Dolce Vita, whose cars look like this. Amtrak issued an RFP earlier this week for a new long-distance fleet, perhaps they will take some inspiration from this beautiful car.
@@JuanSanchezGuerra While the RFP is not public, so we don't know exactly what Amtrak is looking for, we can assume they likely aren't going to go too luxurious and will instead opt for utilitarian. Which makes sense for AmTrak as they're on a tight enough budget as it is, new sleeper cars for the next 30-40 years is a lot of capital investment, so they'll likely look to again maximize space/utility in the size/budget they're given.
@@MichaelNKaboose I was referring more to the modernity and sleekness of the car's design, not so much its luxuries. That being said, apparently Amtrak is taking the opportunity to create various fair/configuration levels offered on sleeper cars, perhaps some of the nicest offerings might have some nice touches like seen here.
Aside from roads, including the truckers, bikers snd coaches (buses) on the freeways and interstate highways in America, I see a resurgence in the US railroads being used increasingly for passenger trains going forward, as flying and air travel gradually begins to fall out of favour, just like here in the U.K. and Europe
With the inconvenience of airports and the heavy traffic and bad drivers on the freeways and interstates, I'm surprised not more people are taking to the rails!
Yes, you can tell this train trip was done during the Fall, with the tree leaves turning from the color "green" to the colors "yellow and orange" (smile...smile).
Ride a train for a short ride the rest of the time parked..the dome car was very nice..at the same time its so expensive to hook them up and move..ive looked into them..and even on sidings its very expensive the railroads want to rip you off for everything and my grandfather ran the bar car and dining car for northern pacific for 40 years i traveled with him on many trips from mpls to seattle and back...
One day I would like to take the Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul ! 5 days on the most prestigious train in the whole wide world. And may be run into Hercule Poirot !!
This compares well with many of the sleeper trains in Russia & Eastern Europe and also with many cruise ship cabins, in the days before flying and air travel. Given issues around climate change, carbon footprint and all of the other hassles around flying, I suspect that these will come back into favour far more so than any Japanese innovations, even more so than high-speed rail travel
There is no set cost, each car and room has it's own pricing depending on how long you're on the train and how many guests there are. It can vary significantly, but at minimum expect several thousand dollars per person. The cars are often available for private charter as well, though those costs get prohibitively expensive for any sort of vacation style journey for the average family.
Yes as mentioned this is just an example of a private train trip. The price depends on many factors please refer to the links provided in the description for more info :)
Thank you, Seb, for joining us on our 4th running of the American Autumn Explorer!
Thanks for having me!!
Thanks Seb! Great work! So very glad you rode with us.
Thanks for having me bill! I had a blast!
Why did they get rid of the autumn colors express?
@dillonohlemiller401 The Huntington WV to Hinton ACE was a victim of excessive insurance requirements and Amtrak fees.
AWESOME! I love these private rail cars! Great video, Seb!
Everyone is unique! Thanks buddy!
Hell yeah, I love these old trains. So much history, and good people behind it, doing their best to keep it alive.
Yes all the people were so lovely!!
It's nice to see these old trains restored. Modern trains are not nearly as nice!
Thank you for letting us ride along on the private train in America. We enjoyed it very much.
Glad you enjoyed this :))
I’d love to put this ride on my bucket list. Sounds like a lot of fun.
It really is!!!
Ah HAH! I see you caught the train fever from Mike Downie!🤭❤️👍Thanks for taking us on this unique ride.😊
Hahaha a little! Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see these stunning train cars!
How do you only have 3.4k subs?! I thought I just hadn't heard of you before and expected you to have a few hundred thousand at least. Honestly, this was a fantastic video, I hope the algorithm picks you up!
Thanks I appreciate that a lot!!
Definitely on my bucket list! These are the type of train cars that I want to make a trip on! Thank you for sharing this video!
You should! It’s such a great experience!!
Now this is my dream trip! Thank you! I hope the private train business booms and spreads.
Let’s hope so!!!
Very cool private train cars. That must have been quite the experience! I have never been on a train, so this was a nice video to watch. Thank you!
It was such a great experience! Thanks for watching :)
What a lovely step into the updated cars - quite the fun adventure!
Such a fun adventure!!!
Very nice - Looks a great trip and fine way to travel!
One of the best ways I think
What an awesome train! Sucks that it rained!
So great!!! Yeah too bad would have liked to see the fall colors!
@@sebpic_ there used to be a train operated by VIA called The Bras D'or in Nova Scotia. I wish it was still around!
Muchas gracias, Seb! Es un tren maravilloso!!! Y debe ser algo inolvidable viajar en el.y con esa gente tan amable!.Estoy asombrada! Es increible
I am glad you enjoyed it!!
Wow!
I had no idea of this aspect of (former and still current?) rail travel in the US - thank you!
That Menzies Vista railcar must be the most beautiful one in the US right now.
It looks amazing! Never seen anything like it!

Marvellous, loved it ❤

Beautiful!

Burlington...i really miss that wonderful city.
It’s beautiful!
Omg I want to go on that train!!!
Such a cool experience!!
That's amazing. People don't realize how amazing trains are.
Yes what a great way to travel!
This brought me back to when life was simpler and not so judgy.
vielen dank Seb
Hoffe es hat dir gefallen!
I enjoyed it a lot - you were not far from me in Kingston Ontario. I need to check out that train next fall.@@sebpic_
That's a nice train ride, Seb. Thank you! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome!
Thank you!
Fantastic🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!
How much are tickets 🎫 and where do you book online

🔥 but the hefty price is 😢
what time of the year was the train ride made?
It was in October when the fall colors were out!
Yes, you can tell this train trip was done during the Fall, with the tree leaves turning from the color "green" to the colors "yellow and orange" (smile...smile).
Baba too wants me to c Amtrek . He says give PR a break. I am of the same view. These trains cd b addictive. I luv to c long distance journeys.
BILL😂 it's so beautiful but it's so expensive to go to america sadly. You're so lucky
Bill is a great guy!!
Thank you!
Oh yeah, "private trains" ☺️

Very nice.
I wish I could go on that train.
Such a nice one!
I’ve been wanting to own a private train car. To live in it full time!
Fantastic. ❤ Not sure if most of us could afford it. 😢
Man I would to love to travel by train. Being 7' tall definitely stops me from doing it. 😢
Damn I am 6’5 and it’s definitely doable even in tight bunk beds but 7’ is a whole other level :)
Is a membership needed to ride?
I don’t think so! You can also rent out the individual cars more info in the description
One day I would like to take the Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul ! 5 days on the most prestigious train in the whole wide world. And may be run into Hercule Poirot !!
so jealous Seb.
It was so fun!!
Why doesn’t Kevin sleep in his own car? We have a ball cap etiquette in America you should learn it if you travel here.

No mention of costs . . .
I just assume that, the price per person is about the same as a 7-day cruse ship ... but on the top level (smile...smile).

Hello. How r u.
Dude, do not say final destination on a train! Lol. Remember the films?
🥰
So good!
This must be $3000
Probably a few thousand there is a website linked in the description for more info
I don't promise a daily watch but will try. Bye for now.
Thank you!!
Is there something wrong with this bloke's arm?
Snowpiercer
Thank you for this video. You saved me from wasting my time on taking this boring moving museum. 🙏
Ah, you gotta have some love for these old amazing train cars. I'd rather stay in this than a Hilton.
😅😅😅
Did I Literally miss EVERY SINGLE MEAL in the 24hrs ?!?
