"That beautiful mountain you saw at breakfast was Mt. Shasta Volcano. The first one you saw was Mt. Hood Volcano. Thank you for concentrating on the scenic wonders outside of the train rather than the train itself. Thank you also for letting everyone know that the southbound journey would deny riders the sights of the Cascades. I am a mountain person and could care less about the ocean and seashore. When I ride the Coast Starlight, it will be to see the mountains only.

Thank you so much! I kinda thought that was Mr. Shasta but wasn't 100% certain. It was so majestic, seeing it gave me chills. You're right, riding past the water is fun but actually going up and over the Cascades is really a magnificent adventure that is a truly amazing experience. Thanks again for identifying the mountains and making me smarter 😃

Very well done video. I enjoyed the relaxing music as well as your narration. I have ridden many of the AMTRAK routes BUT not yet ridden this one. Hopefully I will be able to catch it when buying a USA rail pass and take a trip in Feb or March of 2023 and will be starting in Houston Tx, going West to LA then going north to Seattle then east to Chicago then to NYC then DC then Miami and then not yet sure.

Amazing trip! What you had on the first night on the train for dinner, breakfast and the second day of the train for lunch is exactly what I would have had! There has been some changes to the menu which I don’t know if all this is still current, but they replaced the Artisan grilled cheese sandwich with the monte cristo sandwich, one of the replacement with the lobster crab cake pre dinner appetizer is the coconut crusted shrimp, the flat iron steak which used to come with a baked potato or polenta now comes with mashed potatoes, the Philadelphia cheesecake is now the white chocolate blueberry cobbler cheesecake, the chips that came with the burger now are back to regular potato chips, the chocolate torte you had was replaced with a chocolate mouse which I believe isn’t available during lunch as they had a different dessert option during lunch which isn’t listed on the menu

@TravelingWithBryan 26 күн бұрын

Wow thanks so much for letting me know of those changes! I think I'd rather have the coconut crusted shrimp instead of the lobster crab cake. You've inspired me to jump back on the Coast Starlight, just for the food lol!!! Thank you so much again!

@@TravelingWithBryan yea sure, and hope the trip was worth the steep prices! I’m curious to know because later this summer in August I’m supposed to go on the Southbound Coast starlight from Portland to Oxnard and I’m thinking of doing the sleeping car for the first in a very long time

I went on my first long-distance train back in January 2023 on the lake shore limited from depew ny to Boston Massachusetts. A lot shorter compared to this but 11 hours on a train is still long. It was also my first solo trip out of state. I had the roomette.

I enjoyed this video. The northbound Starlight is the one Amtrak long-distance train I haven't done yet (I do at least one "Amtrak Vacation" each year). Perhaps because I'm a railfan, I would have preferred less music and more train sounds to accompany the lovely scenery. I know it's not as cool, but a plain old power strip works just fine in a roomette or bedroom. The ones I have provide a few USB charging ports and about a half dozen power outlets -- more than enough for my needs. My Google Pixel 7 pro has its own on-board anti-shake compensation that works well enough for me. The shots of the Pacific coastline were fabulous, thanks for featuring them. I know of two other very nice panoramas. The Northeast Corridor (Northeast Regional and Acela) between NYC and Boston travels the old "Shore Line" route and (weather permitting) provides lovely views of the Connecticut shore line. The Lakeshore Limited (from NYC to Albany) travels along the eastern bank of the Hudson River for nearly the entire trip. Dinner in the diner on the northbound Lakeshore at twilight along the Hudson is truly spectacular. Thanks again for this very enjoyable video.

@TravelingWithBryan 6 ай бұрын

Thanks Thomas! I love your idea and might just do a full video that's music free and just the sounds of the trip itself! My friend has a Pixel and LOVES it too they are amazing phones! I've now added trips on the old "Shore Line" route and also that trip along the Hudson to my train ride bucket list, thanks so much for the tips and for watching :-)

I filmed this trip in early Spring 2022. It's taken me that long to actually learn how to edit (plus a broken wrist slowed me down for about 6 months too). Sorry for the delay :-) Amtrak has changed up the menu too and I can't wait to go out and try their new offerings. Seems like they'll always have the go-to burger and Flat Iron steak for carnivores like me lol!
