- I thought I would be tired of trains by the end of this, but it was the opposite. Turns out I really needed this time to do nothing and recharge- It was a great journey for me.

YES!! I LOVE the longer trip videos because of the scenery and longer experiences with a different vibe and a cross country trip on a train is on my bucket list. So thanks for your perspective and expertise! Love your videos so much and always look forward to when you upload to see what you got into this time, haha. Be safe and I look forward to seeing your next adventure! 🎉
It is always great joy to watch your video. You are such a humble and amicable guy.
I lived in Logan from 1972-1985. Went to USU for years! Gorgeous place, outstanding camping. Great video, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Super great video. Thanks!
As always dude, your videos are awesome.
I would love to see you do The Ghan in Australia. The history of the train alone is just a phenomenal subject to research. I know you don't drink, but even the winery region is worth the views alone, let alone the barren outback stretches.
It is so high on my list! You are making me really want to do it 😁
This was so fun to watch Jordan! I'm leaving for my turn (opposite direction) next week! It was great to get insight into what I can expect on board! Will be sure to order that salmon and choc cake ;)
Great Video 👍 Funny and informative, well done !
Traditional Dining needs to come back to all overnight routes.
Great Video. Loved it!
Rashid is awesome. Glad you got him!
Excellent video.
Sorry I definitely would have reported that employee to supervisor or definitely called Amtrak. They should NOT be permitted to yell at a passenger who did nothing wrong. If it were for employees then post a sign on the table where everyone can see it. No excuse for that kind of behavior and then he said you disrespected him? WTF 😳😡
Yeah it was truly bizarre. I did actually report him because his behavior was unacceptable. I never heard back from Amtrak though
Like cmon now that’s crazy
@@CountingCountries You messed with the CONDUCTOR'S paperwork, and apparently his coffee cup... I don't know how the British treat their train conductors, but in America the conductor is the king or queen onboard the train. The boss! With the authority to boot you off the train in the middle of nowhere... Never, ever move anyone's stuff in America, no one likes their stuff being shifted. NO ONE!!! The truth is when sitting in the diner the procedure is to wait for the waiter to sit you at a table. No wonder the CONDUCTOR lost his cool, nitwit... Your people skills are ZERO POINT SHIT...
I mean, he did move his stuff
Ethnic activities
That was lots of fun thank you brother😅❤
I enjoy watching your videos!!
Ah yes, THAT table. The crew have always used that one on every trip I’ve ever taken, also noticed that the first table near the door is sometimes used by the conductor. Usually they are noticeable as being used by the crew, when in doubt I think it’s best to ask. I’ve been scolded by crew before as well. Most veteran crews will post the little blue sign as a crew space
FASCINATING trip video!
We did the eastbound Zephyr in May as part of a longer rail tour of the US and loved it. Your difficulty walking through the moving train brought back memories - these striped poles between the cars aren't for decoration!

I am Canadian and I got to admit that I am spoiled by VIA Rail... The Canadian that travels from Toronto Ontario to Vancouver B.C. seems like a totally different league of train compared to Amtrak... From the meal service where the menu changes on a daily basis to the dome cars/observation cars.. Awesome showers, bar car, and train staff that are the best... Still Amtrak does look like an interesting adventure... and it's on my bucket list...
Unfortunately VIA does not run the Canadian with a daily service, it is more like a land cruise service at a much higher fare price... Once a week or twice a week service isn't DAILY. VIA requires THREE train sets running the Canadian, Amtrak requires SIX train sets just for the Empire Builder, SIX more for the California Zephyr, SIX more for the Southwest Chief, and THREE train sets for the trice weekly Sunset Limited, although there is talk the Sunset Limited will return to a daily service requiring THREE more train sets. Amtrak requires many, many more train sets to run daily services...
🎉Glad you take your working out so serious. Saw a video where they used luggage like a kettle bell. Dips off the luggage racks and push ups anywhere you can. Bonus was the stair hops, if you have a 2 story. You can be creative, kill a little time and burn off a few calories.
Loed your video, putting on my solo travel list.
좋은 영상이예요. 좋아요. 제가 미국에 간다면 하고 싶은 것들을 영상으로 보게되서 기쁩니다. ^^ 감사합니다. Thank you. ^^
Thanks, I'm 6'3" too, with more of an offensive lineman's build. I'll be taking my first Amtrak sojourn next month. From St. Paul a coach seat on the Empire Builder, as it's during the day. From Chicago to New Orleans I'm on the City of New Orleans, and I have a Roomette. I fly back home to MSP on a Delta flight ✈️.
good job.. i loved watching your video, I'm going to book the same ride next year 2025
Keep on bro!❤
Thanks Ali!! Appreciate the support ❤️
This was fantastic. I am planning on doing a long trip that will go from Chicago to Seattle to LA to San Antonio to Chicago.
I enjoy this video. . You should look d have report the behaviour of that employee. You paid money. You should be respected. Enjoy your time on thevtrain.
Hi. I am new. Love the station. Looks amazing.
I love the mentality that if I can’t cross it by train. Fine I’ll do it myself. Very Sam from lord of the rings.
That Chocolate Mousse Cake looked AMAZING for a train ride!
Still dreaming about it
The stinky feet announcement had me cracking up.
It was seriously so funny
I want to do this trip in the next few years. I did the Canadian about 7 years ago and didn't want it to finish! Recommend!
Oh wow I really want to do the Canadian as well I have heard such great things!
If you ever get the chance come to Australia and try the Indian Pacific, which goes from Sydney to Perth. A distance of 4352 kilometres. Or the Ghan that travels from Adelaide to Darwin a distance of 2979 kilometres. I enjoyed watching your video.
What a great way to travel across America. The scenery is amazing especially through the Rockies. This is definitely something my wife and I would love to do this one day, if we can get to America.
It’s a really good adventure ❤
Can’t remember if I saw you at Heathrow or Copenhagen 26-27th of July but it was mad cool to see you nonetheless
Enjoyable. Have done same several times. What other countries: The Canadian across Canada. Will be one of your most memorable experiences! I did it just before COVID hit. Thanks
That sleeper car attendant when you boarded in Chicago was the one I had a few weeks ago on the zephyr from Sacramento to Chicago. I forget the guys name.
You had a Viewliner II roomette for the NYC-Chicago run. (The Viewliner I roomettes also have a toilet in the compartment.)
Not to sound like one of those nit-picky know-it-alls, but I believe the Moffat Tunnel is the third longest train tunnel in the US. The longest and second longest are the Cascade Tunnel and Flathead Tunnel, respectively, both on the Empire Builder. The Moffat is indeed the highest in the US though. Happy travels, love the video!!! :-)
Should come to New Zealand and do the trains here ❤
Great video. You should try VIA from Toronto to Vancouver.
Via Rail from Vancouver to Toronto, or vice versa! Then Via Rail from Winnipeg to Churchill !! See some polar bears 💪
Love your video and the music. Beautiful trip. Oh, do you fly back?
thanks a lot!🤩🤩🤩
lovely content video love from India🇮🇳 🤗
I plan on taking the southwest chief soon. I took it from L.A. to Chicago back in 1989. But it was all in coach. Wife and I plan to take it round trip. won't be in coach this time.
Definitely book a room! Makes the time go by fast
It’s not another country, yet you should try the Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle. I’ve done it 4 times and also some beautiful scenery especially the second day when you get to glacier national park and the cascades
I did travel from NY to Montreal it was fun ! Train is the best way to travel if you like to see the country ! I love train! You can save water and have shower together with your neighbour 😂😂😂
Amazon video, I’m gonna make this journey soon. I like the necklace and bracelets you’re wearing. Would you mind sharing the link on how to purchase them. Thanks man.😊
Like, comment, subscribe, and share this video to support the Channel 👏🏾👏🏾
I enjoyed your video. The only con is that you didn't finish it off with still traveling on the train to California.
Oh damn, you missed Donner Pass by missing that last train. Its the area that would compete the most with EU countries you mentioned. The Sierra Nevadas are freakin gorgeous.
I would love to do this
You could come back to canada and do the Jasper to Prince Rupert train then a ferry back to vancouver, or Winnipeg to Churchill train to see polar bears. The Alaska train looks like fun. Go to Stettler, Alberta and take your wife and son on a historic steam train complete with train robbers on horse back and a home cooked meal - a full day and a lot of fun.
Sounds amazing!!
Awesome! LETS GO USA!!!
@11:50 The Canadian DEFINITELY does not run through the USA. It goes north around the Great Lakes across the provinces. You MUST give it a try, specifically from Toronto to Vancouver. Your route showed The Empire Builder which runs from Chicago over to Washington/Oregon.
Your videos are suoer nice.
Can’t wait to see you explore india 🇮🇳 on train some ultra luxury trains are available to visit India !
A good friend of mine lives in Naperville. Small world.
Very small world 😅
In mexico. They have one called El Chepe Express
First, As I Have Said Before Your Channel Is Fabulous. I Have Been Lucky Enough To Been On All Of The Amtrak And Via Rail Long Distant Trains. I Love Trains, Sadly Some Of The Staff With Amtrak Can Be Very Rude. And The USA Government Signs There Checks.🙄 Happy Travels!!
Thank you so much! Yes there were some very friendly employees and others.. not as much. I still enjoyed my ride however
If you like Banana Pudding, you should try the banana pudding from the Little Cupcake Bakeshop on prince street. I think theirs is better than Magnolia. Thanks for another great video!
Ooh definitely need to try
Elvis Presley's favorite desert was the banana pudding his mom made...
Can you make a video where you live solely on "trains" on AmTrak where you crisscross the US for a total of 30 days? You can not fly or drive or even use any buses even if AmTrak would put you on a train? You would have to find a way to go to all of the different cities on only train routes, would you be up for the challenge?
👍👍👍
You could do the Indian Pacific
Sydney to Perth
Great Video Dude! Random question, I dig the necklace and the whole half matte half shiny aspect? Where'd you get it?? Thanks!
The Employee should of been reported and Fired. Orient express? London U.K. to Venice, Italy.
He messed with the CONDUCTOR'S paperwork and coffee cup apparently. He is lucky he wasn't booted off the train. Never, ever mess with anyone's stuff in America, it is very poor manners...
Indian Pacific Australia....Sydney to Perth.
I didn't know erither, can travel to different states in U.S. . If I have a chance to go U.S. I definitely give it a try. I like sightseeing.
Yeah try it out it’s fun!
May I ask how much did the whole trip cost?
You should try Indian trains. They are not known for being punctual but I can tell you by my experience the beauty and diversity of the landscape will remain with you throughout your life, and of course then there are people who will make the journey more interesting.
It’s definitely high on my list. I want to ride the Maharajas express!
How was the WiFi in the train trip?
Great video. How much $ $. does this cost you ? ... I would love to do it someday. I say Albany, All bany .. not sure if this is how you say it , LOL.
Off topic..but can you visit Andaman nd nicobar islands of India..It has world best beaches nd completely raw...it's cheap nd you will love it 200%...I hope you visit andaman islands
could you please share what microphone system you use..
Your videos are awesome and the audio quality is great
He’s using a RODE Wireless Go (I have the same mic so recognise it).
@@FromtheWindowSeat THANK YOU
Love the channel!
If you’re ever in the Boston area, drinks on me! 🍻
Appreciate that!!
Travel India by train! That would make for some excellent content!!
It’s definitely on the list!!
How much to ride coach? $
you need do Switzerland express and there is norway one the norway you travel by boat then by train
wow gonig on that train soon in a sleeper peace out
Actually if you like to see most world scenic train ride ? I do recommend train from Beograd to Montenegro ! That will blow your mind ! The train is not the best but going via the highest mountains better than Switzerland and Austria !
Sounds amazing!
canada!!!!!!!!!!!!
How much you pay for Chicago to California?
Please do do a train ride from coach
Most of Amtrak employees are very rough, at least on all the trains I have taken from Eastside to Westside to Northside, there are a few with good customer service skills, but unfortunately they are a lot of employees very rude and I don't understand why, because their work is customer service oriented.
Yet he messed with the CONDUCTOR'S table at the diner/cafe car... He was lucky he wasn't booted off the train! Every cent the train spends has to be accounted for in their books... I don't know how the British conductor rule their trains, but in America never ever shift anyone's stuff anywhere on a train... Its just very poor manners!
I just got a short about this train derailing and watched this video
What are the name of the routes you are taking???
He rode the Lakeshore Limited to Chicago from New York City, and then rode the California Zephyr to Emeryville (San Francisco/Oakland) from Chicago...
Fellow napervillian
Ayyyo let’s go!!
Now do the canadian!
hubba hubba
Do it in india or Canada 🇨🇦
Oh Canada is calling you.
Yes it is!! 😂❤️ need to get on the Canadian ASAP
arew you in greenland
do it in iran , that will be fun
train across Australia, if you haven't done it already
Do Australia
Its on my list!!
That's kool
Food on Amtrak is always better than airline food
Yep I was impressed
Amtrak employees get mixed reviews. I have experienced exceptional employees and rude uncaring employees.
It is the same with every government operated service, whether the Drivers License office or the Post Office...
Wow he’s handsome
Do Canada!
Definitely on my list!
The longest train Journey is the Texas Eagle…
You do get a lot of facts wrong…
Give him a break, he isn't American... Only two cars of the Texas Eagle shunt to the back of the Sunset Limited... West of San Antonio that train is more Sunset Limited than Texas Eagle...
