@LonestarTrips That's a classy way to reply. I made the "mistake" of simply mentioning another channel on a popular KZfaq blog that specializes mainly in Amtrak travel, and they deleted my comment, and made it clear they did not want to post any replies on any further videos 😮.

The previous Amtrak Raleigh station was opened in the 1980s after Amtrak was forced to reroute the Silver Star via Rocky Mount. CSX abandoned the former Seaboard Air Line between Petersburg and Henderson. Before the forced reroute, Amtrak used a station north of downtown Raleigh it inherited from the Seaboard. The multiple Piedmont route trains use classic cars previously owned by Amtrak or New Jersey Transit, and originally by Union Pacific, the US Army and Kansas City Southern.

I use the piedmont to commute to and from college in Greensboro NC!! NC is one of the few states that has good train service!

Central and lower state NC, at least. Upstate NC is left out. Hopefully the proposed Salisbury-Asheville route gets approved!

I rode the Carolinian from NYC to Charlotte in 2019. Business class was a bit roomier but it was a long day 7am - 9:30pm if I recall. I took the Crescent northbound in a roomette. Shorter route too.

Noah Gershoff, RIght? Amazing video content really. Thanks for answering my question in the Q n A. That went way better than expected. I have gained so much respect for you. I had no clue you were born in New York! I would love to see a collab between you and Patrick Shea. I love both of your trip reporting styles one for aviation (him) and the yours for aviation + train reports. Great video again!

Thanks as always man! Maybe I’ll look into a collab sometime in the future. Can I ask where you found my last name? I knew it would happen eventually, but I didn’t expect it to crop up so soon lol.

Seaboard Air Line ?? Let's not forget about the old SAL station on Semart Street - on the SAL S Line to Petersburg VA - maybe to be reconstructed one day. I rode the Carolinian to Washington on the last trip before those tracks were pulled, in the 1980's.

@lonzeo 23 күн бұрын

It is now in the process of being reconstructed into a Southeast corridor

@ervinthompson6598 22 күн бұрын

@lonzeo if so, well and good..... I have waited for years to see it return; however , the longer the right of way goes down - the dollar signs go higher, and lack of interest from all parties - mainly CSX - will eventually doom it.

Love your videos Lonestar. Can’t wait for expansion on S line and high speed rail to VA. You will need to come back to shoot that!

Potentially unpopular opinion but I find the newest Amfleet 1 interior (which is now about 8 years old) even more comfortable than the Amfleet 2.

funny that 183 had acually been repainted at some point in the 2010s actually so that thing has been abused

Are they actually officially called smoke stops or fresh air stops

@LonestarTrips 6 ай бұрын

I think it’s either or. I’ve heard conductors say both smoke stops and fresh air breaks, so I don’t think it matters.

I was wondering what camera gear & mount you use to film out the windows. I need a better system for filming than shooting handheld from my phone for hours when I take the southwest chief in march. the money I've made from YT so far should cover anything reasonable. I burned 2 years worth of points that I've accumulated for a coach class trip across the country which I'm super excited about!

@LonestarTrips 6 ай бұрын

I use a GoPro Hero 9 Black and the GoPro suction mount to film out the windows. Of course, some of the shots are from my phone, but the GoPro helps to supplement the window footage. Hope that helps and enjoy your trip in March!

@nathanjiang100 6 ай бұрын

@@LonestarTrips thanks! was debating between the 9 and the 10 and since they’re pretty close in price I’ll get the 10. I’m probably gonna film highlights and side view clips from my phone but suction a go pro to the rear view window from la junta to as far west as I can

Hi Lonestar, I love your videos. I’m thinking about visiting this area this summer. What city in your opinion is more fun for a day trip, Raleigh or Charlotte?

@Erocks1970 6 ай бұрын

Greensboro is not to be overlooked either. We live in Piedmont and have taken several day trips to Raleigh. Train station just in better location to walk to things. More to come in Charlotte as they build new station to rival Raleigh
