Re-upload of the deleted and classic 1994 promo video produced by Amtrak to advertise the various services, classes of service, and accommodations throughout the Amtrak system through two main characters; Susan and Jack's trip from Los Angeles to Baltimore via the Sunset Limited, Silver Star, and Metroliner to see Jack's grandpa, while Jim Evans, which is the chief of onboard services, guides them throughout the journey showing them and the audience additional features inside the trains. This video covers the Superliner and single-level equipment as well as the Metroliner service on the Northeast Corridor as they were in 1994. This video may not be reflective of what services are available today. This is a screen recording from the original video uploaded to KZfaq, (once viewable by Wayback Machine, however was recently removed from the archive) so therefore some buffering from the Wayback video player can be seen, though I have mostly edited it out. Enjoy!

Love watching old VHS transit classics like this, so damn cheesy but something that feels heartwarming

This is so cheesy yet it's beautiful at the same time. Ah the 90s. Back when videos make you want to do something efficient, productive and exciting. I miss this.

The editing, acting and music is the most 90s thing I've ever seen.

Although some of the services are no longer offered this video still to this day years and years later reflects the true feeling of travel by train! We go every year on a long distance trip via Amtrak and it is one of the biggest highlights of our year!

I hope there are some more of those old Amtrak commercials out there to be revived on here. Anybody remember "Grandpa and Grandma go to see the Grandkids" from the 1980s, seeing the sunset in a gorgeous refurbished HEP Heritage Fleet dome car after a wonderful having had a wonderful supper, then cuddling up together in a nice sleeper? And of course ar the end, the kids happily shouting "Grandma! Grandpa!" Sort of like this. And the grandparents in the 1980s actually looked like grandparents back then, like great grandparents do today.

Meanwhile, in modern day Amtrak, they don’t have any of this anymore. I find that sad.

I've purchased the DVD approx. 7 years ago & will still watch it. Everything was brand new then & service was better. They've eliminated the Chiefs of On Board Services around Y2K & finally added a Metropolitan Lounge in L.A. updated the one in Chicago, & built a shiny new one in NYC. I'm glad I was fortunate enough to experience the difference back then knowing things would change for the worse. All that's left are fond memories through videos.

@RobertPaniagua

I also remember these ads and services then! Great video!

I've travelling on Amtrak train even before Amtrak became nationwide (formerly individual railroad passengers companies became no longer confused with many transfers) for over 54 years. I hopped once or twice a year acrossing any part of USA as I love it and no matter if the train is delays or on time because train travellings are blasting with wonderful socially different people from all over the places and a beauty by looking views passing different areas too. And I'm using mostly sleeper car that is including no extra cost eating in dining car is the best! And their real foods are great! Able to walk entire each cars or standing out of train car on platform if stop for 10 or more minutes (don't wonder away from platform then the train will left by catch up on schedule or be on-time a minute or two before). While monitoring to the completely refueling in locomotives, done by exchanging suitcases in baggage car, finishing refueling water each car and less passengers hopping in or hopping out will be leaving early as a schedule.
