@@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.

I just accidentally came across your "Rockies to Red Rocks" video. I started watching it and it didn't take long before my husband says, "Honey that is the next trip we are doing." 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.

We watched both your videos. Thank both of you for making these. We had to compare to the California Zephyr videos. We think the California Zephyr is a better option. Cosy private roomette or larger. 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.

I've been on it both directions four times (and 9 times driving back and forth since 1971) - living in Denver and visiting my children in Northern California. Just love the ride, the history, the trees, the mountains, rocks, peaks, mesas, and the Hoo Doos near and in Utah. Thanks for a GREAT video !

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!

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.

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!

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.
