@@davidhutchinson5233 I want more development, period. If a private railroad is building infrastructure, buying equipment, or even just paying Amtrak for the use of their facilities, that's still more passenger rail than we would otherwise have had. I agree that passenger rail should, generally, be run as a service through some level of government, but if a private company (ex. Brightline) can get something built out and operating, so long as it's not egregiously expensive to use I'm fine letting someone other than the government cover part of the development cost. As far as sightseeing trips go, if the rails and stations have excess capacity, why not let a tourist or heritage railroad run some excursions?

I spent some years working in the railroad industry. Two fellows that I knew were, at different times, the Division Engineers in charge of track maintenance for this route in Colorado. Most train passengers have no clue about the engineering and hard work necessary to keep a mountain railroad running--those fellows lived it every day. They knew by heart every foot of track of the whole route. I also knew a number of the train crews that operated over that route on a daily basis. I'm retired from all of that and live elsewhere now, but I still keep in touch with some of those fellows. Mountain railroaders are a whole different breed.

You see we have recently become empty nesters and are trying to figure out what trips to takes. This caught our eye as we had talked about doing something similar to this years ago, but kids, school, college, weddings, have kept us from doing so. Now our adventures begin as we are a table for two again.

The food on the Zephyr looked healthier and better. Those busses following the train sounds silly and a waste of fuel. What is the point of staying in a hotel when there is a big chance there is no time to explore Glenwood springs. Should be a destination itself and then catch another train two days later.

Did you travel on the American Orient Express? If so, how was it? Many years ago-around 2007 I think-I purchased tickets on that train for my husband and me. Cost us over $20K, but we knew it would be a trip of a lifetime. We were so stoked about going! But just THREE DAYS before departure, we got an email saying the company had gone bankrupt and our trip was cancelled! And they were non-committal about a refund! CRUSHING BLOW! Thankfully our credit card company refunded all our money with no hassle. (Yay, Chase!) But we’re still sick about just missing our “trip of a lifetime”.

The best view of the Grand Mesa is when you just arrive in the Mesa valley, opposite of Mount Garfield. You look to the left and enjoy the awe of the size of this mountain. I loved being on the south side of a car when I entered valley because I loved gazing at the mountain as we passed by. A real treat. I always called it "my baby" because my childhood bedroom window always faced in every home I lived in. I woke up to it every day. How could you miss this majestic mountain? You must not have been on the south side of the train when you passed it and you must not have seen it until you were close to the border of Utah. The fact that you could see it still that far away tells you how big this mountain is.

You guys were fun and did a great job, especially playing off each other, it gave some dimension. Yes I caught v/t, I do a lot of road trips and generally have to do it in my head using multiples of 60mph. eg I have 180 miles to drive and 60 times 3 hours equals 180 miles, I always hated word problems but always had to do them in real life. I fell in love with train travel in AK. I've revised most every one who's asked me about AK with "just take the train, fly in to Fairbanks and train down to your cruise ship". Most efficient and gorgeous trip you'll take. Also learned not to lean out too far while approaching bridges. A harrowing experience where I almost lost a DSLR and useful parts of my anatomy. Safe and wonderful travels!

Grand Junction, CO native here, I hate to break it to you but the Grand Mesa is the mountain to the east of GJ, what you showed there around 23:40ish is the Colorado National Monument. Still, gorgeous. Definitely try some GJ wine, Two Rivers winery is absolutely fantastic if you ever find a bottle!

I just watched this on TV, but you can't comment there. The food on this trip looked delicious. I went to Canyonlands and Arches many years ago, and they were the most spectacular scenery I had ever seen, until I saw the Grand Canyon three years ago. I actually cried the first time I saw the Grand Canyon. The video was great and really showed what the trip was like. Thank you.

Wow this is a train ride to really calm your soul with beautiful scenery. What an awesome way to get a couple days rest. I would have gone to try hot springs though 😊. Great video 🚞🏔⛰🛤

Thank you for a great review ! Having travelled on the California Zephyr, in each direction between Denver and Emeryville, which was wonderful, I must now travel on the Rocky Mountaineer. Your review of the onboard service is a real clincher ! Many thanks.

Living in Eastern Colorado, I could see taking my wife on a train like this. We have done the Zephyr from Fort Morgan to Glenwood, but still have never been to Moab and this looks like a comfortable way to go. Thanks Jeb for the amazing video as always!

It looked like an amazing trip. I’ve traveled to San Francisco on the Zephyr, and loved it. I think it would be fantastic to take a slow trip to sightsee.

Jeb, thank you so much for mentioning the light when you were leaving Glenwood Springs. I think far too many people take things like the lighting for granted and miss out on some of the most spectacular things in life. The lighting is where the magic begins.

I've been on that route twice, once in each direction on the CZ, as recently as last November. The scenery is simply spectacular! That train looks like a real dream ride. Great video, thanks!

The sites you saw really got me for two reasons. First, my love of the west which I grew up in. Second, the years of my life being lost as an older man stuck in Illinois. It makes me cry to see bothe the beauty I'm missing and cry for the years I've lost so far.

Jeb. Thank you for this wonderful post! I was aware of the Rocky Mountaineer train Vancouver to Banff and that is sort of on a bucket list. Now this additional train tour. Spectacular. Maybe you and Suzanne would do the Vancouver to Banff trip sometime.

It's really interesting to see a train ride that really is just so focused on the journey and not commutes; I'm from the Netherlands, so every time there was a stop due to a train passing or similar and you guys were stuck waiting and when Suzanne said ''This is just classic train travel, you just kinda sit and enjoy the journey'' it awakened such a Fear in me going ''No WHY are we stopping!!'' haha! The same with a lot of the slow driving of the train throughout the video, I'm so used to sitting in the train every day to and from school proper dreading every time my train slows down or, heaven forbid, stops entirely! I bet I'd be much more thankful for the slower pace if I was cruising through that beautiful scenery myself though! Ample time to get nice photos!

the rail experience you're used to only really exists in cities as the metro. theres a few longer commuter rail options out there but they arent nearly as dominant as they are in the EU and UK

In the USA, long distance trains all run on freight rails, single track except for the sidings. Freight is more profitable, so freight trains get the right of way. This is changing, but very, very slowly. And sometimes politics gets in the way.
