I want to thank you guys for these videos. I am 73 years old and have be stuck in home since mid Dec because of medical. So watching these videos are helping me get through this taught time. So just wanted you to know one of the way your videos do. I have fallen in love with you guys keep up the great videos. I hope that when I heal my wife and I can take a trip. My father in and my wife's grandfather were railroad guys. New York Central and the WP.

It’s actually so fun to live vicariously through this lol I was so invested and curious the entire time

We just got off a Viewliner II last week. I spent most the time on the upper bunk of the bedroom since much of our travel was at night. One thing I learned bring one of those car cup holders that attach to the car door. You can hook it on the edge and not be hunting it down or climbing every time you want a sip.

Brings back memories when I was a kid. Every year after Thanksgiving We’d go stay with my brother in Colorado. So we’d take the train from Los Angeles Union Station. Sometimes we’d go up to San Francisco and then to Salt Lake City then get on the Sante Fe to Glenwood Springs Colorado. But we always got the sleeper cars on Amtrak. When I was a kid I’d sleep on top and my parents got the bottom. When I was older I got my own room. Now this was the late 70’s and the last time was 1983. No showers in the room then, haha. That would have been nice. Love the room tour!

Best thing I ever did was take trains all around the US for about a year in my 20’s. Only reason I was able to do so was I had a bad accident, had my surgery, recovered, got my settlement and wasn’t back to work yet so I took Amtrak everywhere for a whole year. Thats a once in a lifetime opportunity, that regular guy like me never get. I met the best people and crashed on their couches. I rarely needed a hotel room. Great experience.

I’ve always wanted to travel long distance by rail. It seems like such an awesome experience! This was an incredible overview of the space. I loved the details you all highlighted. Really made the space feel accessible and comfortable! Thanks so much!

We enjoy your videos and they helped us with booking our first rail adventure...to the Grand Canyon! My tip for newbs like me is research the trip on the Amtrak website and call them to book over the phone. They are very helpful an patient. Also sign up for their perks, we already got money off our first trip!

I've been binge watching y'all all week! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you again for your Amtrak videos. Very helpful and informative. You have definitely influenced our travel choices! I really appreciate your work and look forward to your future videos!

let me tell you a story.. about 2 weeks ago, my mom and I flew to Vegas. I passed out on the plane and was having trouble breathing when I came to. (first time going on a plane) and it was the WORST experience ever. When we landed in Vegas, guess what? We took an uber to get our rental car and our rental car was not 'ready', come to find out there were never any cars to begin with. So we walked from the rental place to the Strat (we did not want to pay for another uber). Well, we decided to not take the plane to come home, so I looked up Amtrak videos on youtube and found you!!! you gave me the confidence to take the amtrak, it was a smooth ride too. I always thought trains went super fast lol but no, it was awesome. My mom and I will be taking the Amtrak from now on!

I love classical designs . More comfortable and you can feeling.

I so love watching you and your husband giving such an amazing tour of the Amtrak Sleeper Cars / Bedrooms. .. Hmmm, got mentally stuck on the name "Moynihan Train Hall in New York since I will probably always call it Penn Station!! (smile) .. Just showing my age of course! .. I absolutely love riding in the private cars on Amtrak, especially now!!! .. God Bless You Both, Have an amazing and super blessed New Year! ... CC

I recently watched Murder on the Orient Express, so when you showed the door to the other cabin I was thinking, "And there is where the murderer enters." Haha

glad to see ya'll again

Bedrooms, Roomettes! Love these videos. Thank you and Happy New Year!! :-)

I eat and drink these videos , and that top is ADORABLE!!!

You both are the best. Your videos are refreshing and calming. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for doing these. Due to health issues I'll probably never get a chance to stay in one of these compartments. But I can say I've traveled a few times in the east by train. A beautiful experience.

Always enjoy you guys ❤ Can’t wait until I take my first trip

Hello and thanks for the tour. I like to wish you both a Happy New Year 2022.

This fixes a lot of problems with the older view liners

I love your videos. We just got back from the Silver Meteor from Philadelphia to Winter Park, FL. We did coach and it was very comfortable, although abit cooler than I'd like but I did bring a sweatshirt and blanket and that made it comfortable. We've already booked a Roomette for April so we're excited to try that too. Keep up the great videos. Happy New Year!!!

Really enjoy your videos! I am ready to take a trip by train for the first time! Thanks!

Just realized I didn’t have my notifications on, but it’s fixed now, I love your videos 💛💛

Great video on the bedroom, I’ve been to Florida four times since August and I took the roomette being by myself it was very comfortable, for two people it would be a little tight, the bedroom obviously is a lot bigger and I do like the bathroom you have to yourself, they’re still running old cars that have a toilet in the roomette if you’re lucky enough to get that, I did twice, not the cheapest way to travel but I’m fond of the ground, thanks again for the video

Thank you both for answering all my questions… I was just going to ask about height and my question was answered… Awesome videos!!

I would love you to do a trip on via rail Canada from Toronto to Vancouver.🇨🇦

Looks great!!

It's the great room ! 👍

I've always wanted to ride the train, so my husband and I decided to plan a small trip for the family (5), being it'll be our first time. BUT I'm kinda hesitant. I've been watching your videos and I get more frightened. I did my research online and was totally lost. I guess we're going to have to go to the station to get all my questions answered and book a trip. Thank you for all the information, you're videos are great

Happy New Year! Great video!

Best room yet. Very informative. Where’s the food ?🥳Happy New Year

I’m leaving sept 16th on the silver meteor for Charleston SC for the first time in my life iam traveling in a roomette according to the new train consist I got viewliner 2 both ways so I’m very excited for this. 9711 room 6 9811 room 8

I haven't been in a Viewliner II Bedroom yet, but the design is almost the same as Viewliner I's. They could have added another outlet, preferably towards the windows with an additional one for the upper berth. I think there are 3/4 length mirrors on the adjoining doors in Viewliner I bedrooms, I didn't see any (besides the vanity mirror) in your room. I know they are in all Superliner Bedrooms. Too bad there are only 2 Bedrooms (not counting the accessible BR) in Viewliner cars- opposed to 5 upstairs in Superliner Sleepers. In Viewliner I's, it was a tight squeeze getting in & out of the bathroom at night, so I needed to fold the opposing chair up for easier access. These rooms are pricey, but they offer the most in comfort & privacy.

Your video is awesome. I love your video so much my dear

Nice review! I've traveled aboard the Viewliner I, both in roomette and bedroom, and I love the Viewliner design. I haven't been on the new ones yet but based on what I've seen I think the Viewliner II is just about perfect - better interior colors, nice lighting and hvac control updates, and for the roomette accommodations I prefer the public toilets vs the in-room toilet of the Viewliner I design.

Thanks for sharing

I'm enjoying your videos I'm a new subscriber join this new year happy New Year everyone glad to be on the journey with you

Hi. I know this vid is a year old but it’s so helpful !! We are coming out next Easter and travelling Boston to New York to Phili to Washington and can book all those journeys coach during the day. We can’t seem to book one of these rooms at all on the Amtrak app or website ? We wanted to do an overnight Washington to Boston as it’s 9/10 hours. Any help on how to boom that would be awesome. Thanks. The cobb family x

Love your videos. I'm an experienced traveler on Amtrak on the east coast. Hopefully I will take a cross country trip from NY to west coast via Lake Shore Limited and California Zephyr. Have you've done a video on the new Superliner sleepers?

Thank you for all this great information . I can't wait to take a a long trip. When you have to get a hotel or just want to stay a day or two in a hotel on the way . Can you go over how to plan this in please?

My son and I checked out a train vacation but the cost for what you got was way to expensive so we decided to go to Portigal instead. The ten days including hotels and excursions was about the same as a bedroom on the Texas out of Chi. to LA and then flying back to Mi.

Excellent job as always. We’re going to be spending the night in bedrooms on Viewliners on both The Lakeshore Ltd. and Crescent. Is there any way to know whether you’re booked for Viewliner 1 or 2?

May the algorithm gods bless you 🙏

Thank you Alyssa and Rob for reviewing a Viewliner II Bedroom. I’m booked round trip on the Silver Star and Silver Meteor in May - Bedrooms both ways. I’m hoping to get a Viewliner II at least one way!

Excellent vid! riding a train from FL to CT is on my bucket list. I do have a question. Say you want to leave your room, is there a way to lock the door behind you?

I wish the Superliner bedrooms were this nice. They’re close, but lack space and a few of the amenities. Superliners run on the cross country routes and should offer the same or better level of quality in accommodations, considering the price and the greater travel time/distance.

Missing USB skts In the UK nearly all passenger stock has USB skts and WiFi

I love old movies. Aren't there ANY train sleeper cars like in the old movies? I'd love to travel by train, but these look so claustrophobic!

You've probably been asked this before, have you ever left anything behind on the train? If so, did you get it back?

Is there a considerable difference in space & comfort bwtn a roomette & a couch seat on the California Zephr ? It will be a first train ride experience & for one night ? thanks ! love your videos too ;)

Do you have a video of a bedroom suite Amtrak from Memphis TN to new Orleans

My wife and I are planning our first train trip going from Cincinnati to Flagstaff (and bus to Vegas) in Feb 2023 . What she'd like to know is: have you had any issues with stinky smells coming from the bathroom in any of the bedrooms that you two have stayed in?

I wanted to do a Amtrak vacation from Washington DC to Niagara Falls for my wedding anniversary in February . This will be our first time. We only want the view. I’m not sure with the pandemic how this supposed to work if anything is in service like the dining area for example?

Where do I find you live vlogs

First trip: I was on the Viewliner I first time On the Meteor going to Florida. Second Trip: I was on Viewliner II on both the Meteor and Star Third Trip: In November I'm on car 9710 so I'm not sure if it'll be a I or II.

The Amtrak tickets are so ridiculously expensive, especially for those trips. I priced it from MSO to SEA and it was $2800 one way. By careful planning you cat get a business class airfare on Singapore Airlines for just a fraction more. But there is absolutely no comparison to the Amtrak, I mean Amtrak looks and feels dinosaurian... would love to ride it but ther eis no way I would pay those fare. Thank you for your reviews though, good reviews.

Nice! Get tips to reach route with every video. Thank you!

Where are you guys headed I live in Florida where are y'all from also how much is it to stay on a train like that to travel

Is this room available on the first floor? I can't walk up the narrow steps anymore so I have to be on the first floor of the train. What besides the single roomettes are available on the first floor? Thanks.

What line is the newer cars on?? I wanna ride on this.

Thank you!😊 On which routes is this car available?

New sub here! If you can, try to do "The Canadian". 4000 miles in stainless steel BUDD cars from the mid 20th century.

We've been watching videos about the Sunset Limited, NOLA-LA. It appears that no station has a platform level with passenger car doors. To get on and off the passenger uses a yellow stool. Neither of us uses a wheelchair, so we wonder about how steady the yellow stool is and how wide is the gap to the car? Are there any mechanical lifts (AKA, "dumb waiters") to move roller bags between levels? The stairs look narrow, steep, and twisting without landings. How does someone needing to use both hands to go up and down the stairs move bags? If we depend on Amtrak attendants for moving bags and delivering meals to rooms, then what is a proper tip?

What size would be good for a extension cord ?

I want to take the Silver star 91 south to Miami. I want to book a roomette. Is there a way I can guarantee that I will get one of the newer roomettes for my trip. Can this be requested. I never liked those toilet seats in the older roomettes.

I want to take my aunt to enjoy this. Do they have two bedrooms or just one bedroom. Two bathrooms. How to choose?

Thank you. Is this same as a family bedroom??

😊😊😊

We're planning our first trip on amtrak but due to covid we've heard the meals are awful?

how do you get the viewliner II? I did not see that option on the Amtrak website

Just took the Texas Eagle-They did not have these cars on the trains. 😞

Which trains is this found on?

Are meals included in the rooms? How is the food?

Do they require a c vaccine?

Do you have to have a passport to travel on trains?

yall are cute

I took roommate .it was good just me. No food

I found the fabric, with all its ripples, got very uncomfortable on a long, jiggling journey. It actually hurt me.

Look like you can get claustrophobia

Stayed 3nights from Chicago to Lax on Texas Chief. It was the most horrible noisy bumpy loud horn every 2-3 minutes. Could not sleep worth a damn. Employees were none existent in the bedroom cars. Spent 2300 dollars on a trip from hell. Never again Amtrak rip off. This was Oct 19 , 2021. It's the worst trip I ever experienced.

I'm sorry AM tracks need to up their game.

i give a fuq for 800 alex
