Davion, I love your style. Do whatever comes to your mind, but for train videos I'll allways be there to watch them. I saw you were even in Europe and I for one love the Adriatic ferry connection from Italy to Greece. That involves a 900 miles train journey from the Netherlands (my place). If you ever come back to Europe, consider this as a possibility and have a look at the craddle of European history and culture in these countries, still beautifull and very hospitable. And nice food and weather...
Thank you for the kind words :) it means a lot! I’ll be back in Europe again later this year to make more videos soon. Ohhhhh maybe I’ll add the Netherlands 🇳🇱 to the list this year
Beaut vid, and most infectious style! More folk ought to take the train, and enjoy the journey. SW Chief is my most used route for decades (linking to MO River Runner)- like to see y'all's reaction to that route, and then why not some rail vids up Pikes Peak, or a narrow gauge?
Really loved your video. You have a wonderful open attitude but you are not blind to the problems. Would love to watch more train or general transportation videos from you
Im glad yall enjoyed the video :). I want to make more train videos but I wasnt sure if I should? Yall will love taking the Texas Eagle, I think its good for kids to see trains and to take them. They can learn about different cultures and people.
Davion, I’ve watched a bunch of RUclipsr on Amtrak videos, and yours was by far the best! You humanized everything! Thank you and if you’re ever down in San Antonio say Hi
Thank you, that really means alot to me. Train travel is one of my favorite ways to travel. Should I make more Amtrak videos in the future? Ahhh I was just in SA last week :/
@@DavionWest definitely make more Amtrak videos. If I were you, I would take all the major long distance routes. For example, Chicago to Seattle should have amazing scenery!
That man was had a good soul, and we talked for a while while watching the Texas landscape pass us by. It’s great and a smart thing to listen and talk with elders to hear their story.
Thank you, Davion for your excellent train video. I love train travel and especially sleeper trains. The only drawback for me is the food. I would like a more sophisticated dining service.
Thank you for watching and the kind words sir. Ahhh I understand. I’m taking the Canadian across Canada 🇨🇦 next month. Will definitely be a different experience
Dallas Union Station's ballroom upstairs is a BEAUTY.... However it books for special events, weddings, banquets, etc. Back during the hey days of railroads more than a half century ago the ballroom was used as the sitting room and passengers got to their trains by a foot bridge over the tracks with steps to the platforms. That foot bridge was demolished long before DART reconfigured the platforms to its present state. Amtrak uses the downstairs former luggage and package floor as the sitting area today, why it isn't as beautiful as larger Amtrak stations. Even so, it serves Amtrak very well as a sitting room today.
Excellent vlog! Very well done. Looking forward to see more vlogs. I am also interested in taking the Amtrak train ride. Greetings from Plano, Texas, United States.
Train rides are the best . We have taken the train a lot. Only way to travel . More people need to take the train and discover the piece of mind and joy while traveling the train. Life's a journey keep traveling.
Hopefully 🤞 more people will see how great train travel is for the soul and the environment. Within the next 15-50 years I think we will see surge in train investment and travel in the US finally.
Although Amtrak is ok. I still compare Amtrak to the days when the passenger trains were run by the private railroads. To be honest, the private railroads had more comfortable trains, more colorful looking trains, faster schedules and many many more routes and multiple trains in each direction. And one had a choice of which railroad company one wanted to take as there were multiple routes and multiple railroad companies competing for business between any two major cities. And there used to be many more dedicated passenger train tracks that have since been ripped up thus causing Amtrak to have to share track with the freight trains.
Well for me at least, I do not want to catch anything. And I also don’t know what people do in that shower, (using the restroom) etc. it could just be a personal thing.
@ hey thanks for sharing….before Covid I welcomed as many germs as I could - thought it helped my overall immune build up resistance…but have started washing my hands more than ever as well as my veggies.
Thank you for the kind words ☺️. Oh that will be fun and much shorter than my ride haha. Take a book, your laptop and just relax on your way to Cali. Have a safe trip.
I'm going out from Illinois to New Mexico THIS summer! I didn't realize the Texas Eagle had an Observation Level! I rode on the Southeast Chief years ago & I Loved their Observation Level!!
I'm contemplating doing the train going home to FTW from visiting San Diego, the first place you went in the video, was that a roomette? Then the regular, plane looking seats that reclined, is that the business seats? Thanks for the video!
I take amtrak every 3 months or so (next one coming up on july 16th) to see my husband who lives in another state from me currently, Im eventually going to move to his state, and when i do ill still be taking amtrak back and forth to see my family. My ride takes 19 hours to get there and i love every minute of it!
Wow! 19 hours of train travel every 3 months. I feel that since my girlfriend lives in Europe. The distance sucks but is well worth it. Even though Amtrak trains move slow when compared to other trains in the world, I think this is what gives it magic. A chance to really slow down in our fast world.
@DavionWest yes! And i have always loved trains ever since i was little they are just so powerful imo. I love seeing the places we go through. We go straight through new york to get there and i was like a kid in a candy store looking out of the window the first time seeing it.
I haven't checked out the rest of your channel yet but I hope you have a video of you and your Dad traveling by train at some point. My Dad has been gone since 2001. I would have loved to travel with him but time did not allow for it. It is a huge regret.
I’m sorry to hear that Trey… I have one video in Italy 🇮🇹 with him. But actually I’ll have a train video with him and my family traveling by train in the Uk soon. I’m trying to focus spending time with my family since we never know when we won’t have a chance to anymore.
THANK YOU for sharing your journey with us. Your comprehensive overview of the Texas Eagle 421 train. I am packing to travel from the the BIG D to LA and your video is right on time. 😂 on the food rankings! I'm vegan so I'm looking forward to what's available for me on the menu. Keep the travel videos coming! #airforceveterans
You’re going to have an awesome trip 😎 ai love train travel, especially that route, it really makes you sit back and relax. I’m glad you enjoyed the video :), I’ll have a train video from the UK coming out soon :). The Big D? Oh you must be from Dallas too if you know that phrase 👀😂😎. Praying they have good options for you with the menu. Thank you for the support and for serving our country.
@@DavionWest I did!!! I travelled from Dallas to Union Station in LA. Took the train/bus/train connection to San Diego. It took a minute to find the Amtrak lounge in LA but I was relentless since it was like night and day from the main waiting area in Union Station. My roommette was SUPER COMFY! I was thoroughly impressed with the staff. Your video was on point. Lastly, the vegan options weren't too shabby taste wise. I gave it a solid 7. Thanks again. Looking forward to checking out your UK video. Estar segura!
Hello Davion. FYI, in the northeast part of the country, Amtrak has the right of way. Also, Amtrak has electric locomotives. I'm from Philadelphia. That's how I know. Amtrak also has the right of way over our commuter trains.
Thank you for the intel, I defiantly have to make my way to the northeast corridor and make videos :). The north east seems to have a way better transportation system than in the south of the US, hopefully we will get better.
I did the Zephyr and Starlight the end of November last year and think this has the Empire Builder is on the list for this year. Would you recommend doing the entire journey from Chicago or LA? I live in Houston myself and from FW originally but I need the whole experience 😊
The Zephyr and Starlight are on my list for sure!! I havent done the trip from Chicago to LA yet. I got on in Dallas, but I do want to do the whole trip someday!
@@DavionWest I’m actually thinking I might just do the entire Texas Eagle trip this fall and do the Empire Builder for next year. I was just sitting here thinking that last year’s adventure kicked my butt, but it was so relaxing.
Eventually I’ll get around to doing the empire builder and the whole Texas Eagle route :). Yeah long train journeys kick my butt too!! I’m thinking of heading to Florida and making a video on the new bright line trains
Amtrak is 2nd tier train travel. Before Amtrak, the passenger trains were run by the private railroads and they ran them on faster schedules, more comfortable rooms and coaches and many many more routes to choose from. And the food was cooked on board from scratch and there was more luxury.
@@DavionWest Summer is way too crowded. Anyway winter time should be beautiful especially if snow time. I travelled on it last fall 10/22 and it was pretty good but winter would be better i feel.
Trains are not the new wave. Before Amtrak, the passenger trains were run by the private railroads. In the 1960's nearly very town in the US. was served by a train. The trains back then were faster, more comfortable, more routes to choose from. When Amtrak took over the passenger trains in 1971 they eliminated 60 percent of the routes and downgraded service in every possible way. The passenger train traffic was reduced to trickle by 1971 as most people switched to flying and driving during the 1960's causing the passenger train to meet its near death. There will never be a new wave of train travel in the U.S. as Amtrak and the government butchered the system and it is impossible to bring it back.
I would have to say the Steak for sure! I would say I got maybe 5-6 hours. And thats because we added a couple of train cars in San Antonio at night, so that woke me up.
@@DavionWest Those are only available between San Antonio and Los Angeles and are only available because the Texas Eagle service btw San Antonio and LA only represent a thru coach and sleeping car that are attached to the New Orleans to LA Sunset Limited. Because the Sunset Limited has these amenities there’s no reason to exclude Texas Eagle passengers from these. The Texas Eagle runs as an independent train between Chicago and and San Antonio and as a thru coach and sleeper between San Antonio and LA. The independent train between Chicago and San Antonio has no sightseer lounge or traditional dining both of which it did have before the pandemic. I hope that will one day change.
I guess it depends how you look at it, California Zephyr is 845 mile. Texas Eagle is 2,438 miles, and the Empire State Builder is 2,206 miles. So I mean by total distance it’s longer yes but, the empire builder takes longer by time tho.
They check the trains in El Paso?! Get serious. Thats like fixing a faucet that is dripping but ignoring the torrent of water coming from virtually anywhere else. Nice that you walk on the train though 🤦♀️
Should I make more train videos? If so where should I go next?
Davion, I love your style. Do whatever comes to your mind, but for train videos I'll allways be there to watch them.

Good job on the video! I hear the east coast trains are nice! But they don’t have traditional dining on the longer distance trains last I heard.
Thank you for the kind words ☺️. And ahhh I’m definitely going to try this year :)

As a fellow Veteran I want to thank you for your service Davion.

Thanks for being in the video! It always makes the videos better when other people are in it. Happy holidays ☺️
Very excellent vid !! Thank you so much for sharing and thank you for your service to this country.
Thank you for the support 🙏🙏
Davion, your video deserves an award!!! STUNNING on so many levels!!!!! Thank you so so much!!!
Thank you for the positive energy. ☺️ and kind words.
You can meet the most friendly and interesting people when you travel which adds to the enjoyment of the trip.
Right!!! That’s why I love traveling!! Especially long distance trains
I love the people that you met especially the gent at about the 14m32s mark.
That man was had a good soul, and we talked for a while while watching the Texas landscape pass us by. It’s great and a smart thing to listen and talk with elders to hear their story.
Thanks for this, I plan on doing this in September for my birthday. Probably from Fort worth to Chicago. Didn't know it went to Cali
You will enjoy it!! I Still have to make it up to Chicago by Amtrak one day.
Thank you, Davion for your excellent train video. I love train travel and especially sleeper trains. The only drawback for me is the food. I would like a more sophisticated dining service.

Thanks for this. Today I just made up my mind to take a trip and this is exactly what I have planned. Thanks for what to expect.
No problem, have a safe and fun journey :).
Today is the day, I'm off
@@BruceGulley How was the trip?:)
@DavionWest I had to postpone due to illness in the family. Now things is set for Jan 1 2024. Looking forward to riding
@user-fo4iw2fo9g damn I hope everyone in your family is doing better. You’ll enjoy 😊 the ride!!

I wish it was still used 🙃🙃. But I’m thankful Amtrak comes through Dallas still
Excellent video. Great narration, and the interactions with fellow passengers was a nice touch.
Thank you so much, i'm glad you liked the video. I did another Amtrak video, from San Diego to Seattle, probably my favorite one.
Excellent vlog! Very well done. Looking forward to see more vlogs. I am also interested in taking the Amtrak train ride. Greetings from Plano, Texas, United States.
Cool! You should do more train trips. Thanks!
Thanks for the support ☺️, planning some more hopefully next month at the end
Next train trip reports are coming next month, get ready :)
Appreciate the review, I live here in DFW and I’ve been thinking about taking the train for a good trip for sometime

Yes!!! Please DO! You did an excellent job!!
Say less 🙏, thank you for the kind words.
@@DavionWest What do you mean Less?? 🤔
@deborahsells1092 so kind of like slang, meaning like “okay I lol definitely do it :)”
Tell me the big advantage of wearing sandals in the train shower? ( besides the slipping factor?)
Well for me at least, I do not want to catch anything. And I also don’t know what people do in that shower, (using the restroom) etc. it could just be a personal thing.

El Paso Texas is where I actually live and the station is beautiful
I know a couple of people out in El Paso ☺️. The train journey was great, I need to see the inside of the station next tike

Great video. How was the layover in SA?
It was a little loud, since they were adding on more train cars, but since it was late I slept through most of it.
What was the total cost of this expedition?
I believe $440 dollars. I’m actually on a sleeper train in Canada right now lol
@DavionWest from Dallas to LA was $440?! That's is crazy high!! That's as much as a ✈️ flight. Can't wait to see the Canada 1 too
Empire builder! Train rides are the new wave lol
Im trying to go on that trip this month, still thinking about it. Trains are definitely the future and wave.
Trains are not the new wave. Before Amtrak, the passenger trains were run by the private railroads. In the 1960's nearly very town in the US. was served by a train.

Very nice trip report. But I am not riding the Texas Eagle till they bring back the sightseer lounge and traditional dining.

Your the first and only person that thinks Austin smells good
haha lol I guess its cause I have so many memories in Austin.
How much was it
I believe 440 but I somehow got a great deal.
@DavionWest wow that's not bad, I can afford 500 the most
This is not Amtraks longest train. Empire builder and California Zephyr is.
I guess it depends how you look at it, California Zephyr is 845 mile. Texas Eagle is 2,438 miles, and the Empire State Builder is 2,206 miles. So I mean by total distance it’s longer yes but, the empire builder takes longer by time tho.
