Riding the CA trains along the coast is the best. Comfortable, no traffic, repeat..no traffic, plenty of space for work or a nap. Outlets galore.

Took this ride in 1996...The train broke down about half way and got to watch the sunset over the Pacific during the engine transfer...Ride took 15 hours L.A. To San Francisco...Great memory. #LostForWords

As a former airline employee for nearly 30 years I have travelled by air to the majority of places around the world but I have had the most exciting memories whenever I did it by rail. Slower or faster, the older or more modern they were still a good journey. Unfortunately Brazil has quit with passengers trains in the 1980's and even the old charming overnight service between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro which I have used a few times for a week end has gone!

The Surfliner begins in San Diego and connects with the Coast Starlight which goes all the way up to Seattle. That is a very scenic ride.

Town, coastline, hills, pastureland, city, it has got everything in one frame. Beautiful ride; purely idyllic!

I like riding the Amtrak trains. I am not driving. I can walk around anytime I want. There is food and drink. I can get comfortable and most of all I like to just sit and watch the scenery.

I can't believe how Santa Barbara looks now! I was engineer on the Starlight in'88/89, then, only on Fridays until 1992, when I went to Metrolink as test engineer.

Driving train from Los Santos to San fieero 😜😜😜😜

The waiter was funny!!!!! I've seen him on the Empire Builder from Pasco, WA to Chicago!!! Very nice guy!!!

I've travelled on Amtrak train (even former private RR Company before Amtrak merged) for 50 years. So, I go once (sometime twice) a year in any part of USA as I love it and no matter if on time or delays.

I have ridden all the AMTRAK routes west of St. Louis. THe Surfliner and Coast Starlight are good rides. I have been to the L.A. train station 3 times as part of my 5 trips out west on my own and really enjoyed being there. Good Mexican restaurant across the street. Rail travel fan from St. Louis

TRAIN is very wonderful . DoubleTrain . Train travels is very Peaceful. Comfortable seats. Food is very good variety items. Services nice. Comfortable seats. Beautiful natures. I like this video. Thank you so much sharing this Video .

I love trains , Travelling by train is very enjoyeable

I love trains i took train from Regina Saskatchewan Canada to Toronto Ontario back in 1990 to see my real Dad before he passed away. We no longer can catch train from my city. Now we have to go Saskatoon to catch it.

Well,well well!!."It`s always sunny in California"!!!.What a nice ride!!.Probably we don`t have the European TGV-(yet)-,but what a delicious & unforgetable trip,to be enjoyed not just once, but certainly,a million times!!!.I Love Calif,& all over,I LOVE AMERICA!!!.

For the record, the LA river has a very controlled flow. The flow is constricted to replenish as much groundwater as possible, so it doesn't reach the ocean unless rain or melting snow drives the flow. Edit: prior to the development of the LA flood control system in the early 20th century, the entire LA basin area would routinely flood after heavy rain seasons.

CHIQUITITO EL TRENCITO !!!!! ( Y NO ME VENGAN A DECIR QUE NO ENTIENDEN EL CASTELLANO HEEE ??? )

It's a wonderful train journey!

As a European its fascinating seeing that is exactly how train travel used to be 40 yrs ago in Europe. Slow.

This trip isn't about speed like people are thinking. It's about scenery. Going to fast can ruin that

Ok, that waiter needs to be the "wacky friend" on a sitcom. Also, loved that reaction, "No, no, no...we are different from Russians!" LOL You're damned right you are!

Travelled by train from Sacramento to Seattle.Nice experience.

That's one beautiful train.. very cozy and peaceful ..

going to Union Station is worth the trip. awesome building. took the train from LA to SLO and back one time. the trip there was great. the trip back was 7 hours late and it looked like a riot took place.

If only airports had waiting areas like this.

Kids crying,grandmas gossiping ,guys talking to each other to pass the time, Humans are same everywhere let it be India USA or any other nation. Train journeys are the best

It's really a fun to travel by train, I enjoyed train ride from Los angels to San Diego

I've risen this train a couple of times. The last one was the train to Chico, CA. I avoided the traffic along Interstate 5. It was nice to relax going up there. Granted, it was slower than driving, but it was nice to travel via train.

And almost 80 years later, our diesel electric passenger locomotives go the same speed as the EMD F's and E's from the 1940's. Oh well, at least they're air conditioned now.

There are many beautiful train stations in the U.S., Chicago is great and big; San Diego is not so big but really nice. You can see them on the net but live is always better.

I like driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles on I-5 but this seems nice.

Theres something Special about trains,travel in a train is something Special.

Ficou excelente o vídeo ! Um abraço de São Paulo , Brasil.

Oh WOW...Los Angeles Train Station beautiful, in Miami we don't have a gorgeous station

what a friendly steward on board

Great video and thanks for sharing your trip. Bummed that you did not get a seat on the left side of the train. That is where you have a great view of the Pacific Ocean for a few hours. Too bad you also did not get a seat in the dining car on the left side either. It is a railroad tradition to share a table with strangers if there is only 2 of you. You meet the most interesting people (sometimes). Hope you had a great trip!

I am a train 🚆and I approve this video

Excellent video !!!

Everything is so clean.

grazie di cuore per questo stupendo video molto bello con un treno favoloso bellissimo panorama un mio saluto dalla sicilia nuovo amico giuseppe

WOW! This is the AMTRACK train!! Very interested! but 10 hrs ride is so hard... I often use BART, so Union Station, I'll remember.

The lady from Texas was really sweet...

When ever I saw LA think about gta5😂

The dialogue was priceless!

Enjoyed Journey from LA to SFO in 10 minutes

Nice man, I remember playing with this train in Train Simulator hahaha

Public transport in USA is not very convenient and takes very long to reach your destination if you rely on it. They encourage car and air business. Even your daily commute is difficult if you don't own a car. Road or Train Transportation is rare.

From 2:03 to 2:12 the bell and the wheels on the track sound cool because they make a beat

waiter is just amazing

It is nice video having shown inside of train. Nice.

"Zer is vatta?" Yes there is water in Los Angeles.

Nice Video of your Trip on Amtrak almost felt I was there on the train with you.

Love from Indonesia

I love trains!!❤ nice video!

Awesome Hollywood city

A really lovely journey but compared to Europe like stepping back in time. Great if you have plenty of time though

Cool mate. Would love to see this one day, cheers from Australia!

Interesting train ride. It actually runs between Los Angeles and Oakland, with a bus shuttle to San Francisco. If you come to visit I suggest taking a coast or mountain route, as it's much more interesting. The majority of this trip is through the valley, and while it is a spectacularly productive agricultural area, the landscape is pretty boring. In general Americans don't use trains much for passenger traffic. Trains are used mostly for freight, so you won't get anywhere near the experience you get in Europe, Japan, or China. A bus trip up the coast or through the mountains would likely be better.

Thanks for sharing this. It felt like I was literally there. 😊

It's been a ten hour ride since the original Coast Daylight was inaugurated in 1937. BTW-next time get a seat on the ocean (west) side of the car. The train follows the beautiful Pacific Ocean coastline for 100 miles and you missed it all.

I love these Trains.

बहुत ही अच्छा लगा देखकर 😀😀😀

Wonderful side seen

Very Nice Video

12 hours for a 382 approx. mile distance - that is totally ridiculous.I just came back from Spain travelled a fast train between Madrid and Seville 212 miles it took about 2 1/2 hours with stops. So 12 hours for 382 miles that is totally ridiculous.Unless you just want to travel and meet people.

A big thanks to GTA V and San Andreas to introduce most of the people to LA and SF

Precisaríamos de um serviço desse Aqui no Brasil!!! É incompreensível o porquê de não haver, principalmente no Sudeste, esse modal de transporte!! Ótimo vídeo da época!! 🇧🇷

Traveling to Oakland and then getting a bus to SF might have been a mistake. The Caltrain from San Jose to San Francisco is faster than the Coast Starlight from San Jose to Oakland and then the Thruway Bus.

Beautiful journey

Nice video, i love watching slow tv :) I did not know it was 10 hours...

ho man love that trip end my dream is to go to san fransisco

Bien antiguitas los trenes en usa a comparación Europa y asia.

California looks like a desert country. It looks like Morocco. The artificial botany doesn't change much. It's one beige wasteland. San Francisco is a great city though.

Nice video, enjoyed watching. 10 hours tho???? Just looking at a map now, didn't realize they were that far apart, looks like a fun, scenic ride.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing!

thanks Henrich from brasil

Very nice journey

The train was looking like running slowly. Yeah America have not high speed trains. Though it's still good.

hovoril som si, ze mas slovensky znejuce priezvisko. A nakoniec som sa presvedcil :D

Great video Henrich. I traveled the same train the opposite direction a few years ago after a Cruise from LA to Vancouver, Canada. Got on the train in Seattle. Enjoyed the ride, but just 2 months ago drove round trip from Palm Springs to Seattle on the 5 Freeway (inland) and missed seeing the ocean during the days. Glad you got in a few "selfies" along the way.

They don't build these now. Most of the stations in our state have been closed.

What a wonderful video😍💜💜💜💓💓💓

Good to see people drinking Sierra Nevada

Like this Trip!

super nice video sir

Wow very nice video 👍

How many Km between both cities 500 ? 10 hours ..horrible ! Could be interesting to have a High Speed Train like our TGV or Japanese Shinkansen . 500km= 2H - 800km = 3 h Better than plane if you consider eXtra time to reach your plane !

Better than a bullet train...🇺🇸🇺🇸

India is third world. We have a population of 1.31 billion. We have one third of America"s land area.

Nice video for tourists good job

Grateful to you for this video 😊

Nice train

"Are you European?" "Yeah, I'm from Europe." Quite the elaboration my dude...

They may be slow, but I was still impressed. Sometimes it is better to travel.

it's probably faster to drive and u get a choice of fastfood along the way.

my friends tried this and i refused so i drove alone up the golden state freeway i waited 3 hours for them to arrive. meanwhile africa has bullet trains in morocco and kenya.

At 9:02, a view of the lounge car - great! As I understand it on Amtrak food is a la carte, or order what you want from the menu, much as most restaurants. to me that is a big plus. Unfortunately on via in Canada, you need a first class ticket to have a meal available, or if you are on an overnight with s sleeper ticket, meals will be included, but the cost of the sleeper ticket is the biggest part of the overall cost. Hopefully as this continues, we will see a good view of the menu and the prices, and get some idea of what arrangements need to be made!

Best for very beautifool some to you.. travelling train internesnal nice video..
