Introverts really appreciate this. No loud noise or crowds, just the beauty of nature and solitude

One man and one camera, we don’t even know what he looks like or sounds like but he makes the best content to watch at 2am. I live for these videos. I just wonder what he does for a living, that he can travel this much and show us these awesome landscapes.

I took this train in October and it was the best trip so far of my life. The scenery was amazing and the people I met on the train were unforgettable. And to top it off this staff was exceptional

I love these travelogues. At 80 years of age, my brain says let's do this; my body says, forget about it; my wallet says you gotta be kidding me. That said, thanks for the ride. Someone needs to provide access to passengers to a recording of what the landscape is all about; one that can be accessed at any time during the trip that gives immediate input to what is passing by; maybe some sort of app.

"I don't think this is Earth anymore." D'accord. Stunning.

I don’t know why I like these travel vlogs so much…it’s quiet, funny and endearing all at the same time! I also like seeing your clean plate at the end of the meal…dunno why, just like it 💜

I love how they have a scenic observational carriage with window facing seats. It must have been nice being able to just sit and stare at the world go by for hours.

THANK YOU for no annoying endless voiceovers. This was beautiful and very relaxing

Solo-san's precious commentary + his awesome videography skills = best video ever

You should do "80 days around the world" with your own style. Thanks for another video. Greetings from Spain.

The eastern and western portions of the US are so markedly different. Beautiful in their own ways… I think sometimes, as Americans, we get desensitized as to how vast and beautiful this country really is. Thanks for the glimpse into your adventure! I hope you enjoyed it!

You can really see the difference between American food and Japanese food. Also, how ironic it is that trains used to be for people who couldn't afford planes. Now it's the other way round. Great work as always. LOVE the caption!

Thank you so much, this is definitely one of the best videos I've ever seen on KZfaq! No unnecessary bells and whistles, no distracting music, no three cuts per second - just a calm and well explained film from a personal point of view. I am your fan from now on! Greetings from Germany!

America's natural beauty is breathtaking. I am happy to have experienced it with an appreciative companion. I love travelling with you, my friend.

I LOVE Amtrak. I took it once and was hooked. It takes longer than flying, and sometimes more expensive (vs economy)...but it beats being crammed into a seat like a sardine. If I'm not in a super rush to get to my destination, I'll chose the comfort of the train. Saving this video, would love to take this trip for the scenery 😍

"This is so good!" *hands shaking uncontrollably* - this always makes me laugh 😂😂😂

The conductor @10:28 matches the fun vibe of Solo-san, it was very funny. While the room itself doesn't look super comfortable, the viewing car was stunning! I'd be spending a lot of time in there, wow.

I was worried after your last couple of Amtrak experiences, but I'm happy for you that this trip seemed to go much more smoothly! My word, the scenery along this route is unbelievable. I just finished a 2-day Amtrak trip from Seattle to Chicago, and I thought the views on that trip were amazing, but it still doesn't compare to this. As always, thank you for bringing us along on your travels. I'm eager to see where you choose to go next.

I drove from Phoenix to Chicago via SLC so trust me the scenery is phenomenal! I also stayed in Utah for a month

I live in the USA and this is one of the few rail trips that I really really want to take which wouldn't be utilitarian (not going to see family or friends, but traveling just to take the trip itself). It looks like it more than lives up to everything I've heard about it. The scenery = WOW. Interesting that I don't think of this rail line running parallel to the highways, which it looks like it did through some of Nevada/California. I'd love to drive out west as well, but obviously when you're driving you've got your eyes on the road and you can't appreciate the view like you would from a train. Glad to see that this rail trip seems to live up to everything I've heard about it... can't wait to do it. Thanks! Oh and P.S.: next time you see a Monte Cristo sandwich, get one. If you liked the french toast, you'd love it. It's like a grilled ham and cheese sandwich made on french toast. I put syrup on it and cut it up and eat it with a fork like french toast. Terrifically underrated lunch item.

An American train experience that wasn't cursed!

The cornmeal cake appetizer you had probably is closer to Italian polenta, which is also made from cornmeal, and can be served either like a soft porridge, or fried up into cakes.

8:44 is the shot of my dreams, that color in the sky, the blacked out flat landscape just open... Beautiful. USA!

Oh my goodness that was awesome, some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. Thankyou Solo , as usual you had me tittering at some of your scenes . Keep these trips up. Not just abroad but in your beautiful home country 👏👏👏🇬🇧

広大な土地を3日かけてゆっくり移動する..... 素敵です

у этого юноши поразительное чувство такта! как деликатно он относится к персоналу, как он всегда благодарит за еду!!! УМНИЧКА!!!

Обожаю поезда и ваши ролики,смотрю с удовольствием!Привет из Санкт-Петербурга.

До чего же красивые виды из окна поезда открываются ! Спасибо за возможность путешествовать с вами ! Thank you!

Solo solo-san... I can't believe i found this channel. You are so fun and happy. Im from NY, USA and love your videos

16:44 The drivers on that highway probably drive through that breathtaking scenery every single day and don't even think about it.

I spend my time each day watching all these journeys on KZfaq and it's always great to experience them with you on your channel!

America is such a beautiful continent, it makes me wish that I could travel and see those sights myself. Once again, missing out because of my disabilty :(

The Railroad French Toast is a very popular breakfast item on Amtrak, and it's good to see that it's served on a proper plate (on routes with Traditional Dining service), even when delivered to one's sleeping car compartment.

Очень красивые пейзажи! Привлекательная еда, от вида которой слюнки текут, удобное купе, обслуживание неплохое. Очень понравилась эта поездка! Спасибо!

This was the best footage of this route I've ever seen! Thank you so much for this, and i hope you enjoyed your time here in the US! Were people kind? What did you miss the most?

Wow, your video is absolutely stunning. You captured some amazing scenery on this trip. P.S. - I'm obsessed with the sky/clouds. And such wonderful colors. Fantastic video.

I always look forward to your videos and they relax me and remind me of the trips I've taken so far. I think Amtrak's prices are insane, and most people won't be able to afford it. However, the US has stunning landscape and the train ride is definitely a great way to take it all in.

Such a glorious quiet trip. No loud passengers.

I grew up in Chicago and now live in southern California (which is far from San Francisco) but it’s a pleasure to see you take a train I’m familiar with from my home city to where I’ve moved onto (sorta) - Amtrak isn’t the fanciest but it a core memory for me.

First USA train you've been on I'd genuinely travel there for to take myself. Wow! Thanks for taking us along!

The overall view is majestic. Thanks for documenting your trip. May God bless you.

Thanks for sharing. My daughter and I traveled from SF enroute to ATL. Our first train was on the Zephyr. Very scenic, the staff were great, the food and our room, although it was small was a wonderful experience.

The journey up from Denver and over the Rockies down into UT is hard to describe to people who haven't done it. The amount of change you see as you go more west is just insane. Passing through the deserts of Eastern UT, into the greener central part of the state, then out into the more beige western desert and just endless changes.

1 word to describe the ever changing sceneries - majestic 👍🏼

I really like that you occasionally show us a map/route update on your phone. It's a little thing, but I appreciate it. Looks like a beautiful route to travel, and I hope you enjoyed San Francisco!

I remember the first time I went to the deserts out west (I was in Utah) and my reaction was much like yours. The scenery was so devastatingly glorious that I could barely believe something like it could even exist on Earth

There are lots of California Zephyr videos on KZfaq but this is one of the best, Thanks for sharing.

That's why I love living in Colorado. It has all of that beautiful scenery.

Yay! Been waiting for part 2!!! So excited, almost as excited as I was for your trans-continental trip across Canada 🇨🇦 🍁!!!!

Finally, a good Amtrak experience for you! Seems like the room and food was okay, thank goodness... I'm not sure it's $1k worth but MUCH better than the other routes you tried in the USA. I'm so glad you got to see some of the southwest 💕

Спасибо за интересное видео! На этот раз я думаю поездка по Америке была более приятной,красивые виды за окном, удобное купе,вкусная и наверное немного не привычная еда.

6:04 prior to 2020, this train had up to ten cars (maybe even more) including the baggage car. Four sleepers (one with crew accommodations, usually with a downstairs door at one end) and three coaches. The superliners are starting to show their age and fewer are worthy of carrying passengers, as they're all from 1978-1996 but overhauls are underway. The California Zephyr route is an amazing one. I've filmed the train during my many visits to Colorado.

Incredible train ride & beautiful journeys, great video, I’m motivated to take this trip, thanks for sharing your awesome upload.👍🏽💗

This is the most charming and beautiful scenery I have ever seen. I hope I will have a chance to see it in the future!🥰

I am so glad you are coming to SF!!! I have been watching your videos about all kinds of Japanese rides for a while, now you are coming to San Francisco where I live!!!!

Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

he's taking us on a trip for free. such a gentleman.

Wow! The train is on top of the mountain! That's amazing! This is for sure will be on my bucket list! Thanks for sharing!

I thoroughly enjoy your videos (you have a great sense of humor 😊), I hope you keep them coming! Also, now you've made me want to visit both Japan, Canada and the US... 😄

Pedazo de vídeo, hermosos paisajes viste Solo Sama, complementaron totalmente tu travesía. En algún momento recordé cuando estabas en Canadá y buscabas tu castor. Gracias por tu trabajo, se disfruta muchísimo. Cariños desde 🇨🇱.

I remember riding the Amtrak train from Chicago to Texas and the train experience was amazing

Thank you. Food , Scenery, Solo thoughts and quiet. Beautifully captured. Good food is a must and is part if the fun, you made me hungry with your close footage and gestures at meal times :) Stunning views !

Bonjour Solo-solo👋, trajet spectaculaire, des horizons à couper le souffle cela fait rêver et donne envie d'être sur place. Merci beaucoup pour ce partage 😊 et désolée pour le dernier repas 😔 mais vous avez gardé votre sens de l'humour😄 à bientôt pour la suite🤗.

For the people genuinely confused as to why Amtrak is so expensive: There’s actually a lot of factors at play. I mean A LOT. For one, the US is one of the largest countries on the planet (over 20x the size of Japan over to be exact). So Amtrak isn’t just charging for your trip, they’re charging for operating and maintenance costs of the railway and train system which spans across the entire country. Amtrak also doesn’t own the entire railway system, different parts of the railway systems are owned by different companies and when Amtrak travels on that part of the railway they have to pay whatever company owns that section of the rails. This can be included in your ticket depending on where you’re traveling to or where you’re traveling from. And lastly, train companies in the US base their ticket prices on the local economies. Goods and services are much more expensive in the West and North of the US because of how their economies are handled, things tend to be cheaper in the South and Midwest. Amtrak is still expensive in the South and Midwest of the country, but it’s still a noticeable difference in price.

What a great trip. And yes perfect timing, trying California Zephyr on Autumn/Fall season.

So glad I found your channel. I get to travel while at home 😊. Thank you, for sharing your traveling with us. Hope you enjoyed The US.

9:35✌️ ウケました😂 いつも素敵過ぎる動画に感謝！

Glad to see you enjoying your time here!!!

Спасибо что взяли нас с собой в путешествие 🤝

thank you for your video, I love the scenery, and you capture them all beautifully. and thanks also for showing us your meal. surely the long ride and the meal is worth every penny.

Thank you for the very beautiful wild landscape!

Loved the editing in this one! Would love to ride this route someday.

I'm always enjoying watching. I hope you can move safely and healthily! From your Korean fans🇰🇷

Wow! Fantastic views! Thank you! You did a great job! Now I want to go cross-country solo on amtrak!

The scenery was truly beautiful with all the beautiful colors, thank goodness the door wasn't rattling like the last lol at least you got a chance to have some yummy food and a beautiful sunrise thanks for sharing and stay safe my friend 😷

What a great video, I absolutely loved the scenery as it changed from state to state. I have to decide if I would want to try this 1 because 3 days is pretty long.

Thanks for the come along ride video!!! I enjoy watching your trips and the humor you give🤣I would love to plan a Amtrak trip in the coming months (when the weather is better). The food looked really good, except the last meal you had. God bless you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽running out of desserts is unacceptable 😆😆😆

Well done video, really enjoyed it. Bucket list for sure. Thank you!

Спасибо за путешествие, Соло-сан! Хороший в общем-то поезд, традиционная американская еда в больших порциях, классические толстые американские проводницы😄 Главное - шикарные виды за окном! Удачи и новых дорог!

Oh beautiful! I used to visit Denver quite a lot, so the shots there made me homesick, especially when you were wandering downtown around Union Station. And it was fun seeing the Metro Lounge in Union Chicago again; in 2016 I had a Standard Roomette from Pittsburgh-Chicago and Chicago-Dallas, and while they didn't serve lunch, the snacks and the complimentary baggage check (and the showers!) were a lifesaver. THe views weren't NEARLY as stunning as all of those Rockies and deserts shots, though, and the farthest West I got going out of Denver was Rocky Mountain National Park, so it was great to see this.

I've wanted to make this trip for so long! Now, thanks to your video, I know *when* to take it!!

Thank you! I live in Austin, TX and my daughter goes to University in Chicago…we’ve thought about riding the Texas Eagle but I’m nervous about the quality. Looking forward (as always) to riding with you and seeing the trip firsthand! ❤❤❤

I could watch Mr. Solo enjoy train food every night before bed!

you said you were going to travel, and you did! i am so happy for you!! the amtrack train was definitely the best train out of all the north american trains (adding the canadian one because i can lol) and it had the best food. loved all the views, though. many thanks for taking us along, ss!

Great videography skills 👍🏻 enjoyed every bit of it. I live in Denver and would for sure take this trip after watching your video 😊

After seeing your travel log I want to take the wonderful scenery and experience the moment. Thank you for such a nice ride. The video is well produce and the ambience is great. 👍😇

Mulțumim pentru filmare și efortul depus sa ne arătați locuri frumoase 😃👍

I love your travel videos, and I'm so happy that you got to travel through Colorado, my home state! The morning sunrises against the front range of the Rockies is a treat. If you're ever in New Mexico, Albuquerque and Santa Fe have train lines too! Safe travels!

This looks like a wonderful trip. a couple of days enjoying beautiful scenery and relaxing and eating.

Awesome ! Thank you for traveling with you !!!!

Великолепное путешествие! Осень разбросала краски! Очаровательно!

Holy moly, you came back to the US?! Nani?! At least this time you got to see the Rockies and the Colorado plateau! You know how I first heard about Salt Lake City and Denver? It was from a movie where a guy wanted to destroy Denver... Using a train! Also, next time any of us are at that Emeryville station, Emeryville Public Market across the street with pretty good food.

An amazing trip! Thank you for sharing!

Interesting...beautiful scenery! Thank you!

Welcome to my home area. I know you value your anomality, so we were not able to meet. Glad to see you enjoyed trains and the scenery of the Great American West. Thanks for visiting.

The scenery is soooo fantastic 😍

Kicking back, relaxing, and peaceful. I like this video. Good job^^

Wow, beautiful and picturesque view. I loved that and the nice quiet person too🙂🤍

The food in this video looks far better than the food I had when I traveled there in May 2020.

Thanks a zillion zillion times for taking me virtualy. Love your vocabs have me always dying here.JUST LOVE YOUR GREAT SENCE OF HUMOUR. Totally love your videos
