    • @MichaelNKaboose
      @MichaelNKaboose Год назад

      @@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.

    • @JuanSanchezGuerra
      @JuanSanchezGuerra Год назад

      @@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

    • @edwardmiessner6502
      @edwardmiessner6502 Год назад

      @MichaelNKaboose Год назад +1

      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.

    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
