Would love to see a train adventure! Get on Amtrak!

I love Amtrak! 🚅 In 2013 my son and I moved to Texas. We rode Amtrak from 30th St. Station in Philadelphia to New Orleans,Louisiana. Spent the night in New Orleans and boarded the next Amtrak into Beaumont,Tx. It was a fun trip! The food was good and the crew was friendly!

All of the great railroads (Union Pacific, Santa Fe, etc.) had passenger rail service across the country. In the 1950's, air travel took passengers away from the railroads. Also, the railroads were going into a transition (long story). In any case, by 1969, the only passenger rail service making money was the "El Paso Friar" (El Paso to Denver), so, Amtrak was created, which took passenger rail away from the railroads. In some places (Connecticut to New York city, etc.), commuter rail never went away, but in the early 2000's, a number of regional passenger rail services began popping up. One example is the New Mexico Roadrunner with service from Belen New Mexico to Santa Fe New Mexico.

When my nephew was a little guy his grandfather took him to a car wash and told him when he was 1/2 through it was a giant octopus going to eat him. Now he is 40 years old and washes his car in his driveway. I love museums, this one was especially great because I loved the views from the conductors seat among other things. Great video, as usual.

Hi Jacob, I sure enjoy watching your travels. May I suggest next time your in Omaha which I lived in several years ( now live in.

Should check them out. Love your postcards keep them on my wall, daughter says it’s like my long distance boyfriend sending my postcards with me hanging me them like that lol.

Hola from Baja. When last in Rochester, they had a chain of car washes called Luv...and the Luv Club was $25 a month unlimited washes...it had neon hearts.

This adventure had everything my son loves, lol. He's always been fascinated by car washes, and loves a good themed hamburger.

I've never had any conceivable reason to visit Omaha, Nebraska, but I AM a huge King Kong fan... Also, that is a fantastic railway museum! I love classic railways. The pace, the elegance, the comfort, the classic hotels and excursions. Problem is, they don't make 'em like that anymore. We drove Route 66 on our trip to Northern Arizona in 2019, but it was based more around staying in railway hotels like La Posada, visiting the railway museum in Kingman, and taking the Grand Canyon Railway to the park.

Train adventures are fun for sure. Living in the Midwest, I've taken an Amtrak both to the east coast and west coast. If you choose to go and you choose to take a room with a bunk bed, don't choose the room with a toilet built in the room... An advantage for a bunk room, is that your meals are included. A disadvantage of a train trip is that you don't have the freedom to explore at the stops

From a fun car wash, an amazing (and tasty looking) burger, a railway museum in an old library (as a kid, I went through a Train phase, so that part of the video brought back fond memories), a windmill themed rest area, plus the tale of a most unusual Cryptid, Jacob takes on another entertaining and informative adventure!!!

Some overnight trains do have nicer food options and alcohol served, but most intercity routes have only snack/comfort food options with some basic dining set up or just single seats with a table looking. Some of the Western Amtrak routes have dedicated observation cars, but most overseas trains tend to be more like the cafe car but slightly bigger as it can be a social space. I think there was a wedding party on my TGV between Lyon and Marseille last year and they crowded the dining car-but still really enjoyed the SE French countryside

Jacob, Great job on the Union Pacific Railway museum. You need to visit the Union Pacific rail yards, it's 2800 acres, and a viewing tower to see it all. Also think about stopping in Riverside Iowa, future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk, of the USS Enterprise. Good job Jacob. Jay

You should do one of Amtrak's long distance routes. The California Zephyr - between Chicago, IL and Emeryville, CA - is considered the most beautiful route. The Empire Builder - between Chicago, IL and Seattle, WA - is considered the longest. Although the conductor manages the entire train, each car has a "car attendant", not a steward or stewardess.

Sleeping in a caboose, eating in a dining car, going on a murder mystery train ride with costumed actors, riding antique steam engines, experiencing a train robbery, seeing the fall colors by train, touring train museums, abandoned tracks and stations, and so much more. You could do a bit of research, and plan whole trips centered around this theme. It's a big world, with lots of fans.

There is a car wash here in Cedar Rapids IA, Tommy's Express, (which I think is a chain), that does a whole haunted house kind of thing during Halloween. The employees are in costume and they put on some kind of show while you drive through. This might happen at other locations too, but you'd probably dig it. Only down side is you have to pay an additional like $20 on top of the car wash cost.
