Introverts really appreciate this. No loud noise or crowds, just the beauty of nature and solitude
still too much idle prattle from strangers lol
I'm an extrovert and I really enjoy this stuff too
@@NoxAimsAndMakesEdits an extrovert on the internet!? 😱
@@destituteanddecadent9106 no way??? :0
Yes I’m booking this for my birthday trip this month instead of doing the same ole islands and making it a solo trip I think I’ll appreciate this a lot I have social anxiety 🥹
One man and one camera, we don’t even know what he looks like or sounds like but he makes the best content to watch at 2am. I live for these videos. I just wonder what he does for a living, that he can travel this much and show us these awesome landscapes.
Er hat über 800.000 Abonenten auf seinem Kanal. Dieses Video wurde über 1 Million mal angeklickt. In jedem seiner Videos läuft Werbung. Damit verdient er ein kleines Vermögen. Ich glaube kaum, dass er noch arbeiten muss.
Lmao I was reading your comment and when I got to the part about watching at 2am I looked at the time and it was exactly 2am.
2:41am checking in lol
3:35 clocking in, im late to the party 🥳
2:57 for me . . . p.m. 😊
I took this train in October and it was the best trip so far of my life. The scenery was amazing and the people I met on the train were unforgettable. And to top it off this staff was exceptional
Hi. So does Amtrak stop for pit stops where passengers are allowed to hop off for a short time or are you required to stay on the train for the duration of trip?
Go to China you can see the beyond
Well that never happened 😂😂😂 like farmer
I love these travelogues. At 80 years of age, my brain says let's do this; my body says, forget about it; my wallet says you gotta be kidding me. That said, thanks for the ride. Someone needs to provide access to passengers to a recording of what the landscape is all about; one that can be accessed at any time during the trip that gives immediate input to what is passing by; maybe some sort of app.
"I don't think this is Earth anymore." D'accord. Stunning.
I don’t know why I like these travel vlogs so much…it’s quiet, funny and endearing all at the same time! I also like seeing your clean plate at the end of the meal…dunno why, just like it 💜
cuz it shows that he really was enjoying the meal
I've never seen the Unites States like this, I've always flown above it but you never get to see the Beauty in America cuz we have no trains and all the roads go through hell, being able to sit back and look at it looks relaxing
The eastern and western portions of the US are so markedly different. Beautiful in their own ways… I think sometimes, as Americans, we get desensitized as to how vast and beautiful this country really is. Thanks for the glimpse into your adventure! I hope you enjoyed it!
I'm a truck driver here in Canada and I get a little frustrated when people go on these crazy journeys all over the world and never even bother travelling here in Canada (or the US). Like, do both! I have some family members who have been to over 100 countries but have never meaningfully left Alberta. We live on some of the best geography in the world! I feel very fortunate that I've been able to see as much of it as I have.
@@JeffS96 true, and the most northern and southern portions of North America are vast and varied for sure!
W
@@JeffS96 i think it is normal, people go other countries for their culture, cuisine etc. most of the usa and canada is same, maybe terrain is different but it is all same food and mostly same people.
I love how they have a scenic observational carriage with window facing seats. It must have been nice being able to just sit and stare at the world go by for hours.
Solo-san's precious commentary + his awesome videography skills = best video ever
I worry about his hand tremors though
@@stangace20 кстати, тоже обратила внимание. Что же это?
@@stangace20 I believe that is his way to show excitement since he doesn’t talk but either way he is much loved tremors or non.
Hell is real!!! We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus loves you and He died for your sins. Repent and put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and Jesus will forgive you of your sins. Once you die, it will be too late to repent, do it today!! Mark 1:15 For the Kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe in the gospel...
Thank you so much, this is definitely one of the best videos I've ever seen on RUclips! No unnecessary bells and whistles, no distracting music, no three cuts per second - just a calm and well explained film from a personal point of view. I am your fan from now on! Greetings from Germany!
You can really see the difference between American food and Japanese food. Also, how ironic it is that trains used to be for people who couldn't afford planes. Now it's the other way round. Great work as always. LOVE the caption!
They’re still cheaper than flying lol
@@montague8878 Round trip Chicago-San Francisco by plane is $150 this is a grand for one way only.
@@williamstar7225 a grand for a roomette its 150 dollars for a coach seat. but yes i do still agree train travel is way more expensive than it should be
Is there any Halal food for muslim?
@@freedomlife2024 they have food for people. Eat it or starve if you choose to🤷🏾♂️
THANK YOU for no annoying endless voiceovers. This was beautiful and very relaxing
An American train experience that wasn't cursed!
Lmao so tru
Solo-san not only survived, but actually enjoyed the trip? Maybe America is only 80% cursed. (But 100% expensive.)
No beatboxing door this time
@@youraftermyrobotbee What do you mean by cursed?
@@sophiee4130 watch his previous Amtrak experience. Poor guy.
You should do "80 days around the world" with your own style. Thanks for another video. Greetings from Spain.
🌹☕
I was worried after your last couple of Amtrak experiences, but I'm happy for you that this trip seemed to go much more smoothly! My word, the scenery along this route is unbelievable. I just finished a 2-day Amtrak trip from Seattle to Chicago, and I thought the views on that trip were amazing, but it still doesn't compare to this.
As always, thank you for bringing us along on your travels. I'm eager to see where you choose to go next.
у этого юноши поразительное чувство такта! как деликатно он относится к персоналу, как он всегда благодарит за еду!!! УМНИЧКА!!!
Даже не похоже что русский, правда ведь?
@@Russia-is-a-terrorist-State он японец
Oh my goodness that was awesome, some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. Thankyou Solo , as usual you had me tittering at some of your scenes . Keep these trips up. Not just abroad but in your beautiful home country 👏👏👏🇬🇧
America's natural beauty is breathtaking. I am happy to have experienced it with an appreciative companion. I love travelling with you, my friend.
Очень красивые пейзажи! Привлекательная еда, от вида которой слюнки текут, удобное купе, обслуживание неплохое. Очень понравилась эта поездка! Спасибо!
"This is so good!" *hands shaking uncontrollably* - this always makes me laugh 😂😂😂
I LOVE Amtrak. I took it once and was hooked. It takes longer than flying, and sometimes more expensive (vs economy)...but it beats being crammed into a seat like a sardine. If I'm not in a super rush to get to my destination, I'll chose the comfort of the train.
Saving this video, would love to take this trip for the scenery 😍
広大な土地を3日かけてゆっくり移動する.....
素敵です
9:35✌️
ウケました😂
いつも素敵過ぎる動画に感謝！
I spend my time each day watching all these journeys on RUclips and it's always great to experience them with you on your channel!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
The overall view is majestic. Thanks for documenting your trip. May God bless you.
Обожаю поезда и ваши ролики,смотрю с удовольствием!Привет из Санкт-Петербурга.
Спасибо за интересное видео! На этот раз я думаю поездка по Америке была более приятной,красивые виды за окном, удобное купе,вкусная и наверное немного не привычная еда.
Glad to see you enjoying your time here!!!
This was the best footage of this route I've ever seen! Thank you so much for this, and i hope you enjoyed your time here in the US! Were people kind? What did you miss the most?
1 word to describe the ever changing sceneries - majestic 👍🏼
There are lots of California Zephyr videos on RUclips but this is one of the best, Thanks for sharing.
Always excited for another video!!
Yay! Been waiting for part 2!!! So excited, almost as excited as I was for your trans-continental trip across Canada 🇨🇦 🍁!!!!
Спасибо что взяли нас с собой в путешествие 🤝
I always look forward to your videos and they relax me and remind me of the trips I've taken so far. I think Amtrak's prices are insane, and most people won't be able to afford it. However, the US has stunning landscape and the train ride is definitely a great way to take it all in.
16:44 The drivers on that highway probably drive through that breathtaking scenery every single day and don't even think about it.
As someone from Colorado, I can safely say that it never gets old 🤩.
When I traveled to Colorado in 2012, I went out of my way to drive through Glenwood Canyon. I read about it in an engineering book growing up and always wanted to see it in person. It’s pretty spectacular.
Yep! Do it all the time!
I'm from Utah and the mountains never get old. They are stunningly beautiful
@@Quake120 I love the beautiful red rock country in Utah - one of my favorite places is middle Zion (Kolab Terrace). A lot of it runs through private ranch land - I think it was a sheep station - that's now being sold off in bits. I always thought if I won the lottery I'd buy 'em all out and give it to the park, except for one small parcel that I'd build my off-grid, sustainable tiny house on. It's nice to dream 😄.
Solo solo-san... I can't believe i found this channel. You are so fun and happy. Im from NY, USA and love your videos
До чего же красивые виды из окна поезда открываются !
Спасибо за возможность путешествовать с вами !
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. My daughter and I traveled from SF enroute to ATL. Our first train was on the Zephyr. Very scenic, the staff were great, the food and our room, although it was small was a wonderful experience.
The conductor @10:28 matches the fun vibe of Solo-san, it was very funny. While the room itself doesn't look super comfortable, the viewing car was stunning! I'd be spending a lot of time in there, wow.
I've spent a couple trips in Superliner roomettes, they're actually quite comfortable as long as you put your baggage on the rack near the car door and not inside the room.
The rooms are actually really comfy and cozy, the gentle sway of the train along with the serene hum really rock you to sleep. 10/10 would recommend.
Mulțumim pentru filmare și efortul depus sa ne arătați locuri frumoase 😃👍
I live in the USA and this is one of the few rail trips that I really really want to take which wouldn't be utilitarian (not going to see family or friends, but traveling just to take the trip itself). It looks like it more than lives up to everything I've heard about it.
The scenery = WOW.
Interesting that I don't think of this rail line running parallel to the highways, which it looks like it did through some of Nevada/California. I'd love to drive out west as well, but obviously when you're driving you've got your eyes on the road and you can't appreciate the view like you would from a train.
Glad to see that this rail trip seems to live up to everything I've heard about it... can't wait to do it. Thanks!
Oh and P.S.: next time you see a Monte Cristo sandwich, get one. If you liked the french toast, you'd love it. It's like a grilled ham and cheese sandwich made on french toast. I put syrup on it and cut it up and eat it with a fork like french toast. Terrifically underrated lunch item.
Go! It's worth it.
Mindenhol mások az étkezési szokások. Mi lazán rosszul lennénk , gyomrunk fordulna fel, hasmenés , hányás és stb... A hamburger közelít a mi megszokott reggelinkhez.
Agreed, but the nourishment could be better based on what I´ve seen in this video.
@@ANtr431 A mi őseink jobbágyok voltak 1844-ig mint a japán parasztok 1878-ig. A kemény munka, nincstelenség és az időjárási viszonyok miatt egyoldalú (hús, tészta, zsír, szabadon termet gyógynövények, gyümölcsök) volt a táplálkozás.
@@ANtr431 Trust me: as one who's traveled Amtrak's northeast corridor trains, this is, by comparison, gourmet dining. There is usually a café car on the northeast corridor trains, but the food is prepackaged, microwaved if hot, and probably comparable to the food you'd get on one of the Japanese "vending machine ferries."
Bonjour Solo-solo👋, trajet spectaculaire, des horizons à couper le souffle cela fait rêver et donne envie d'être sur place. Merci beaucoup pour ce partage 😊 et désolée pour le dernier repas 😔 mais vous avez gardé votre sens de l'humour😄 à bientôt pour la suite🤗.
For the people genuinely confused as to why Amtrak is so expensive:
There’s actually a lot of factors at play. I mean A LOT.
For one, the US is one of the largest countries on the planet (over 20x the size of Japan over to be exact). So Amtrak isn’t just charging for your trip, they’re charging for operating and maintenance costs of the railway and train system which spans across the entire country.
Amtrak also doesn’t own the entire railway system, different parts of the railway systems are owned by different companies and when Amtrak travels on that part of the railway they have to pay whatever company owns that section of the rails. This can be included in your ticket depending on where you’re traveling to or where you’re traveling from.
And lastly, train companies in the US base their ticket prices on the local economies. Goods and services are much more expensive in the West and North of the US because of how their economies are handled, things tend to be cheaper in the South and Midwest. Amtrak is still expensive in the South and Midwest of the country, but it’s still a noticeable difference in price.
Thank you, I've become exhausted at seeing the same commentary from people on these videos so I appreciate this.
Finally, a nuanced comment.
Thanks, friend.
Amtrak is also heavily subsidized by the US Government.
@@kathleenevans1201 Yes and no. In theory, it is, but they don't receive much regular funding, and have to ask for approval pretty much anytime they need funding. They're also still expected to turn a profit despite their situation, which is another reason behind the ticket costs.
@@sgt.eclair I think that it's to plan a rail trip to support our national railroad !
The cornmeal cake appetizer you had probably is closer to Italian polenta, which is also made from cornmeal, and can be served either like a soft porridge, or fried up into cakes.
I wondered what that was!
That was shrimp not cornmeal.
Incredible train ride & beautiful journeys, great video, I’m motivated to take this trip, thanks for sharing your awesome upload.👍🏽💗
Wow, your video is absolutely stunning. You captured some amazing scenery on this trip. P.S. - I'm obsessed with the sky/clouds. And such wonderful colors. Fantastic video.
First USA train you've been on I'd genuinely travel there for to take myself. Wow! Thanks for taking us along!
I really like that you occasionally show us a map/route update on your phone. It's a little thing, but I appreciate it. Looks like a beautiful route to travel, and I hope you enjoyed San Francisco!
So glad I found your channel. I get to travel while at home 😊.
Thank you, for sharing your traveling with us.
Hope you enjoyed The US.
I'm always enjoying watching. I hope you can move safely and healthily! From your Korean fans🇰🇷
I am so glad you are coming to SF!!! I have been watching your videos about all kinds of Japanese rides for a while, now you are coming to San Francisco where I live!!!!
Best Rocky Mountain footage I have ever seen. Wowsa!! Thank you for taking this old American on a beautiful journey through my country Solo San -- Deep Bow.
you said you were going to travel, and you did! i am so happy for you!! the amtrack train was definitely the best train out of all the north american trains (adding the canadian one because i can lol) and it had the best food. loved all the views, though. many thanks for taking us along, ss!
I drove from Phoenix to Chicago via SLC so trust me the scenery is phenomenal! I also stayed in Utah for a month
Thank you for the very beautiful wild landscape!
Thank you so much for uploading, this was fuuuun!
Such a glorious quiet trip. No loud passengers.
What a great trip. And yes perfect timing, trying California Zephyr on Autumn/Fall season.
Colorado is amazing, the scenery changes colors.
8:44 is the shot of my dreams, that color in the sky, the blacked out flat landscape just open... Beautiful. USA!
Thank you! I live in Austin, TX and my daughter goes to University in Chicago…we’ve thought about riding the Texas Eagle but I’m nervous about the quality. Looking forward (as always) to riding with you and seeing the trip firsthand! ❤❤❤
This is the most charming and beautiful scenery I have ever seen. I hope I will have a chance to see it in the future!🥰
Thank you. Food , Scenery, Solo thoughts and quiet. Beautifully captured. Good food is a must and is part if the fun, you made me hungry with your close footage and gestures at meal times :) Stunning views !
Interesting...beautiful scenery! Thank you!
С удовольствием путешествую вместе с Вами. Пейзажи за окном великолепны. Еда тоже вкусная)). Спасибо за видео!
The scenery is soooo fantastic 😍
Well done video, really enjoyed it. Bucket list for sure. Thank you!
Kicking back, relaxing, and peaceful. I like this video. Good job^^
いつもありがとうございます。
また素敵な旅を、美しい地球を観させて頂きました。感謝!
I've wanted to make this trip for so
long! Now, thanks to your video, I know *when* to take it!!
I live on this route. Fall in Colorado is the best. The first snow is Halloween, so late September/early October is usually peak aspen leaf-peeping.
Wow! The train is on top of the mountain! That's amazing! This is for sure will be on my bucket list! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome ! Thank you for traveling with you !!!!
Pedazo de vídeo, hermosos paisajes viste Solo Sama, complementaron totalmente tu travesía. En algún momento recordé cuando estabas en Canadá y buscabas tu castor.
Gracias por tu trabajo, se disfruta muchísimo. Cariños desde 🇨🇱.
What a great video, I absolutely loved the scenery as it changed from state to state. I have to decide if I would want to try this 1 because 3 days is pretty long.
An amazing trip! Thank you for sharing!
PROBABLY TOP 2-3 VIDEOS OF CALY ZEPHYR.....GREAT JOB.
Великолепное путешествие! Осень разбросала краски! Очаровательно!
Great video as always Mr. Solo Solo!
The video was released 4 minutes ago. You didn't even have enough time to watch the whole video yet. Empty words from an empty head.
@@unexplainedaf7469 🤓🤓🤓
This looks like a wonderful trip. a couple of days enjoying beautiful scenery and relaxing and eating.
I really love your videos it’s just calm you stress down for the day❤
Gorgeous scenery
he's taking us on a trip for free. such a gentleman.
thank you for your video, I love the scenery, and you capture them all beautifully. and thanks also for showing us your meal. surely the long ride and the meal is worth every penny.
I have really wanted to do this. Thank you for posting.
Loved the editing in this one! Would love to ride this route someday.
The scenery was truly beautiful with all the beautiful colors, thank goodness the door wasn't rattling like the last lol at least you got a chance to have some yummy food and a beautiful sunrise thanks for sharing and stay safe my friend 😷
Yummy food on Amtrak? lol
Wow! Fantastic views! Thank you! You did a great job! Now I want to go cross-country solo on amtrak!
That's why I love living in Colorado. It has all of that beautiful scenery.
I remember riding the Amtrak train from Chicago to Texas and the train experience was amazing
I grew up in Chicago and now live in southern California (which is far from San Francisco) but it’s a pleasure to see you take a train I’m familiar with from my home city to where I’ve moved onto (sorta) - Amtrak isn’t the fanciest but it a core memory for me.
My sister and her younger daughter did the Emeryville to Chicago route some years ago. My niece was going to college in Wisconsin and they decided to give it a try.
Thank you for sharing, welcome to San Francisco 🎉❤
Very beautiful. Enjoyed.
Finally, a good Amtrak experience for you! Seems like the room and food was okay, thank goodness...
I'm not sure it's $1k worth but MUCH better than the other routes you tried in the USA. I'm so glad you got to see some of the southwest 💕
If you travel with someone the room is cheaper and you have to consider that you are traveling for 3 days with bed/shower/food included and someone is driving for you
@@nataliajimenez1870 yeah, it's a good price for a hotel with a really nice view.
@@nataliajimenez1870 but in a 50cm width bed and without toilet or even sink.
Hell is real!!! We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus loves you and He died for your sins.

Oh beautiful! I used to visit Denver quite a lot, so the shots there made me homesick, especially when you were wandering downtown around Union Station. And it was fun seeing the Metro Lounge in Union Chicago again; in 2016 I had a Standard Roomette from Pittsburgh-Chicago and Chicago-Dallas, and while they didn't serve lunch, the snacks and the complimentary baggage check (and the showers!) were a lifesaver. THe views weren't NEARLY as stunning as all of those Rockies and deserts shots, though, and the farthest West I got going out of Denver was Rocky Mountain National Park, so it was great to see this.
This one was worth for the views!! Beautiful!!
Such a beautiful views
Спасибо за путешествие, Соло-сан! Хороший в общем-то поезд, традиционная американская еда в больших порциях, классические толстые американские проводницы😄 Главное - шикарные виды за окном! Удачи и новых дорог!
Три дня только закусывает ваш Cоло-сан :) Сам скоро станет толстым/ой. А выпить?
А где сосиски, сыр и ветчина? И овощей мало. И где кофейный автомат? Я люблю латте😀
America is such a beautiful continent, it makes me wish that I could travel and see those sights myself.
Once again, missing out because of my disabilty :(
