@@DonnieAzoff_ " nonstop journey from LA to Chicago in Amtrak coach class." Personally, my answer is definitely not. On the other hand, if you can afford to get a room, then yes, definitely, I very much recommend long distance Amtrak. It doesn't replace air travel at long distances, because in most circumstances you want to get your destination in a reasonable period of time. That's why we don't use HSR in North America and Australia. It's not our fault that the deep water ports are so far apart on these two continents, that's how we found it when we got here. 🙂 But if you have the extra couple days of vacation time to spend on travel, and you can afford the room, yes, do it. I have done long distance Amtrak once, and I definitely suggest others try it at least once. It won't replace air travel for most trips but it's an amazing experience to have, if you get a room. 🙂

In french, it is more complicated 😬 The person driving the train used to be called "mécanicien" witch can be translated by "engineer", but the nowdays official word is "conducteur", though the public uses the word "chauffeur", witch is used for road vehicles, but for trains relates to the firenam, and upsets railway conoisseurs 😁 En the train, what you call a "conductor" is called "contrôleur" though the official word is "chef de bord". But "conducteur" used to relate to the person in charge of a sleeping car, especially on former international night trains, where he kept the passengers' tickets and passports, so the "contrôleurs" from all the national railways and the customs agents could check them without waking anybody up.

That's awesome. I live next to Goshen in Elkhart and am researching this trip. Thanks for the video

I'm glad you didn't experience any hiccups with this trip. That has sometimes been the case with people making the crosscountry Amtrak trips where the train is stuck or delayed due to random issues with the train or no conductor. I can understand doing this trip at $70/person, but I just find that with the limited amt of time I have on vacations to speak, it's hard to justify losing a day or so in travel time. With that said, I think the sleeper car is too prohibitively expensive, as I've noticed in other videos on here. Plus you'd need to reserve 2 cabins and isn't all too comfortable. If you want to explore Amtrak, I suggest two routes: a) Amtrak Cascades: Vancouver to Seattle. Pay a little more for first/business class and enjoy the views + food. b) Amtrak Pacific Surfliner: Double decker train with pretty nice views of Southern California.

We were prepared for delays but shockingly we arrived 30+mins early. The time is also a huge factor since we only get to travel on weekends, spending 19 hours in a train may not be productive and it did took away from our time in Chicago. On the positive side, we loved the journey to the point that we want to book a longer train ride next time. These 4 tickets for $270 were a steal but the very next week, same tickets were $900. And yes we agree on the sleeper cabins, it was $1600 for two cabins which is what we pay for a 8 day cruise. Too bad that Amtrak only has the 4 person cabins on the west coast routes. Your suggestions are awesome, noted in our planner. Thank you so much for the helpful tips!

Yes, your trip as I recalled as I've travelling on Amtrak train even before Amtrak became nationwide (formerly individual railroad passengers companies became no longer confused with many transfers) for over 55 years. I hopped once or twice a year acrossing any part of USA as I love it and no matter if the train is delays or on time because train travellings are blasting with wonderful socially different people from all over the places and a beauty by looking views passing different areas too. And I'm using mostly sleeper car that is including no extra cost eating in dining car is the best! And their real foods are great! Able to walk entire each cars or standing out of train car on platform if stop for 10 or more minutes (don't wonder away from platform then the train will left by catch up on schedule or be on-time a minute or two before). While monitoring the completely refueling in locomotives, done by exchanging suitcases in baggage car, finishing filling up water each car and less passengers hopping in or hopping out will be leaving early as a schedule. I used took Southern Pacific (SP) Peninsula Commuter trains for years. SP ran between San Francisco and San Jose, now called Caltrain extended to Gilroy (south of San Jose). For you guys are taking a short trip on any long distance Amtrak to see if you like the train before taking longer trip. Also, check train status (keeping repeating if a train is catch up) for the arrival to save yourself waiting. Enjoy!

Just did Boston to Chicago in coach for $49. I am tall (6’8) and it was very comfortable. Also did the California Zephyr,57 hrs each way, with my Wife in a roomette, tight but doable. My new favorite way to travel since airline seats are so small and expensive and great views of the countryside.

There is something very relaxing about train travel. As long as one has the time, it’s a great way to see this beautiful country

Thank you! Interestingly enough, last night we were looking at NY to New Orleans in Economy but haven’t decided yet! The Roomette sounds luxurious

As someone who rides Amtrak alot, as a tip I usually pack snacks and cold foods, like chicken wraps, sandwiches, etc. They do have a microwave in the diner cart. Great video though, I subbed. I also uploaded my own mini Amtrak video. Also as another tip, be very careful leaving train side. I've seen people get left behind. When Amtrak leave, they leave. They may be late to places, but they leave on time.

Thank you for the Microwave tip, we will take advantage in our next New Orleans to NY Amtrak Coach ride this summer. Also, thanks for the sub, welcome to our family 😄. We had heard about the Amtrak leaving so we stayed next to the train in Albany even though we were tempted to go grab a souvenir or snack

Loved your content... Been taking Amtrak since I was 9 by myself from South Carolina to Georgia in my late 40ties now. Amtrak is a good ride and next time get one of them to clean that bathroom. Chicago is a major station as the the train can go straight to New Orleans. Also from NY to DC is a great trip with kids because all the museums are free, but just pay for your hotel. Lastly can I get a cooking video on the mint sauce and chicken. New Subbie

As a train fan I traveled with AMTRAK in 1987, 89 an 91 more than 100 000 miles. I enjoyed the coach class. Sleeping for a train fan (From Germany) was not possible because I want to see everything on the outside. I wondered that the dining car was closes for coach car customers. This was 30 years ago not usual. May be I understood something wrong. I hope to travel with Amtrak one last time again.

Thank you for your comment and question. The dining car on the East Coast Amtrak is reserved only for passengers in the sleeper cars. For coach class seats, the cafe car is available. Amtrak travel is amazing and we hope you get to travel more than a few times. Safe journey and well wishes

What a great family

Love your comment. And now we won't have FOMO since we couldn't access the diner car as Coach passengers!

Can't wait to see you're long distance train ride from Chicago to Emeryville, going through the Rockies and Sierras, or to Seattle going through the Rockies and Cascades.

And we can’t wait to share. But this summer we are doing 33 hour Amtrak from New Orleans to New York City. Hopefully we can book our ride thru the Rockies soon :)

Hint for moynihan, due to the track layout only tracks 5-9 can access the empire tunnel used by all Albany bound trains. Gives an idea where to position oneself for the late for sure limited. Great little greasy spoon with great burgers in an old firehouse building across street from station in Albany. Great to grab dinner from for coach passengers as plenty of dwell time in Albany while Boston section connected.

As far as I know, having been an Amtrak rider, you can go to the Dining car if you wish. If you are in coach, you will pay for meals-sleeping cars are meal inclusive. Nice video 🚄

Thank you. We tried and were told we can’t. Someone wrote to us and let us know dining car is open to coach on the west coach Amtrak. We have another opportunity when we try coach again from New Orleans to NY so we can ask again.

Wow new to your channel. I book to go NY once but cancel due to 24 hours travel. But now your video makes me want to go. Thanks for sharing. How much is the sleeper?

@KhizEesa

Ай бұрын

Glad the video was helpful. We can't wait for our 33 hour New Orleans to NYC in coach this summer. So 4 tickets from NY to Chicago was $270 in coach VS it would have been $1100-$1400 in Sleeper since we would need two rooms for 4.

I really enjoyed your video,
