Yummy. Looks so good. I go on my first short trip in June, and then a long trip in November. Thanks for showing us all the good food🌺❤️🙏🏽

Your channel is cool dude. Can't wait for more.

It used to be not anymore. If you want to investigate a bad area at the moment go to Sonora or cotija in Michoacán.

My dad works at the border of the town square 😂

go ahead and find out.

What did you edit out - that put you in a bad mood?

Living in El Paso and being a subscriber to your channel, I thoroughly enjoyed your video! Wish I had bumped into you! Bienvenidos a la frontera, amigo! We should have enjoyed a cerveza o café while you were@

Wow, they did seem very nice and friendly towards a foreigner.

Was it how you expected? It was certainly a surprise for me. It's always super exciting to compare what I hear vs what I see 😁

I work for Amtrak and watching your videos brings so much joy into my day. Your personality is so calming and gives off such a great vibe. Thank you for showing us what's it's like riding on Texas Eagle and the Sunset Limited! Until the next time, cheers!

Keep up the good work brother. Really enjoy your no nonsense approach and sense of humor. Your videos don’t get nearly the views they deserve IMHO.

Bless those people for giving that little man food. He looks so hungry. They all look so hungry. You know what one of the things us and hawaiians got in common? Plate lunch. Whole bunch of big old mean looking dudes. DAS RITE! Im talking about feeding your children.

Thank you for the wholesome and honest video. I look forward to more content from you.

Cool video. Enjoy your time in Austin.

Looks cool! BBQ looks better than what I got back in DC…

More Information for those wondering about the Community First Village: mlf.org/community-first/ There's a lot of information, ways to contribute, testimonials, etc. that is not mentioned in the video. I didn't feel too comfortable about filming others at the time as it felt like making a content out of their past possible scars, but everyone seemed happy and very welcoming! Do note, the village is about 10 miles from the train station, so plan ahead if traveling by a train!

I wanted to let you know how amazing your videos are. We used your videos in an Amtrak training class to see what it was like to travel. Keep up your hard work. Sending my love and energy!

Great video 😊 +1 subscriber

Excellent video. Thanks.

How did you decide who would get the upper berth?

In the end of the video i believe the effect is the 22° halo and is not correlated to the eclipse, but it's a cool weather phenomenon, It's not really rare but i saw it ones or twice so good shot!

I took a few pictures and videos of the eclipse that came out exactly the same. I had the same problem when trying to zoom in or focus. There's a focal point range to have the camera about an inch away from the glasses in order to get a clear image. Trying that in a moving plane, was the other deal breaker, in trying to obtain a good picture. The difference in eclipse glasses can also give a grainy or clear picture as well.

This was such a lovely video and I enjoyed your story telling along the way . Made it really interesting 😊. I am an Aussie , but planning to do this trip next year . My parents were penpals ( my dad lived in Australia and my mum was living in Canada. My dad proposed to her over the phone in 1966, then saved up for 12 months and took a ship from Sydney to Vancouver. My mum met him there and they took this train in April 1967 from Vancouver to Toronto and they married in Toronto in June 1967. It’s always been a dream of mine to take the train journey myself . Watching your video brought a tear my eye ❤

Bellevideohenri😊😊🎉

I didn’t even know there was an eclipse this year, thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I'd rather stay on ground to view the eclipse--you really get to feel, see, and hear the change based on temperature, light, and confused animals that you would initially hear on sundown/sunset. I think there'll be another in 2026, maybe you can catch that one! :)

Did you come to Austin?

Yeah I knew someone else that was on a plane and missed the eclipse by a half hour. Hard to time these things on a regular flight. I did read that some airlines had special eclipse flights.

What did you guys think? I think the key here was expectations. Initially I had no expectation as flights get delayed and cancelled even for the slightest reason. Once we were taking off at around somewhat accurate time (2:59PM schedule departure, 3:12PM take off), my hopes were high. But then, 🥲 Perhaps maybe just 5 minutes early out of the taxiway could have made a huuuuge difference. I was so looking forward to sky turning dark above the clouds, but there was no such moment (hence doesn't appear in the video) Do note, this was NOT the 'special flight' designated for eclipse watching, but rather One of four 'prime opportunity' flights advertised by Delta. For those planning in the future, I would NOT recommend flights like this where you simply "intersect across +" the path. Perhaps one where you chase or fly along the path may provide a different view? Thanks for watching and reading!

I'm chuckling as I wanted you to have made some surprise romance with Bronwen in my head!

That steak looked legit.

I enjoyed the video, I rode The Canadian to Toronto last June in an upper berth and then came home in a cabin for one like you had. Both ways the trip seemed to be over so soon. I hope I will be able to o it again, I am sure you feel the same way.

Yours is one of the best travel channels on KZfaq.

What are you talking about? It hardly ever rains in Vancouver. It drizzles a whole lot though.

Great video im glad you met your friends you are so sweet,I’m going in the fall really looking forward to it thanks for posting ,I have the cabin for one it’s small but I think better than the berths more private,did you get to sit alone for all meals?nice to have the option I guess it depends how many are on the trip

I really enjoyed your video thanks for sharing

If you would prefer a sure fire way to eat alone, you can ask your room attendant to deliver your meal to your room. Doing this actually is helpful because you are freeing dining room space for other riders

Love your second part of your trip. Thanks for sharing with us. That’s the fun part about train travel is the friends you make along the way, that you would never meet without riding the train.

I found out you had to ASK for the cheese if you wanted it on your burger! They didn't offer it or mention it, only on request. Weird.

Wow, that looked like quite an experience. That is a trip within a trip. Hope you still keep in contact with your friend.

Never heard about the bid-up prices. Is this on all long distance routes? Thanks

Great video, I’m gonna be taking that train from Toronto to Vancouver in about two months!

Nice commentary and I like your humour. When we travelled from Toronto last May the Rockies were mostly hidden by wildfire smoke, so thanks for the landscape views (in between the billions of trees! and the frieght trains!)

thanks that was fun

I have been on this train 51x since 1964. It used to only take 67 hours Vancouver-Toronto until the 1980s.

Great video, thank you! I live in Vancouver and this train is definitely on my bucket list 😊

minor correction at the beginning, cable cars are pulled along by a cable between the tracks - new orleans uses regular streetcars/trolleycars :P that being said, man, I gotta go back someday, been forever since I was in new orleans

Nice views! Were you able to try their maple syrup?!

Hope you enjoyed this amazing winter train experience! Additional information FYI: Numbers of seats in the dome car reserved for Prestige class passengers vary throughout the day & days. I think however, the very first row seats were always reserved. During the Peak season (generally May-October), sleeper class passengers can only access the park car during specific times, so check ahead! There are a few more outlets spread out throughout the train besides the park car, which can get a bit competitive! Eastbound trains (Vancouver -> Toronto) were always cheaper than Westbound trains (Toronto -> Vancouver) when I was planning, but I don't know if this is always the case throughout the year. I came across this great opportunity while editing Around America videos and I thought I'll upload this first while things are still fresh in my mind! Now I'll get back to Around America videos (and my Korean channel too for those watching both😁) Let me know if you have any questions 😁😁

LOvE your train vids!!...and your sense of humor! :D...and thank you for the reviews and tours of the trains and food and places you get to visit :)
