I think it's neat that the Southbound Crescent is train #19 and is (was) being led by locomotive #19. Been riding the Crescent Alexandria, VA, to Atlanta since I was a little kid. I was 13 first time I went by myself. Dad worked for Southern Rail.

Amtrak is not too bad until you get past Chicago. Them get ready for one delay after another. It's better than Greyhound, and a great way to explore the continental US. Out west the scenery is amazing.

They kick you out of bed at 5:30am? What a bummer. In the "old days", early arriving sleeper passengers were allowed to stay on the train until around 8am.

Actually coach passengers can asscess the metropolitan for a fee which is $25 but in New York $50 I think. Also soon on traditional dinning coach passengers will be able to purchase ddinning in the dinning car while supplies last, I think it is $25 for breakfast, $35 for lunch, and $45 ffor dinner..

Guys like you are terribly inconsiderate. You leave your scanners on loud with no consideration of people in next door rooms. How about you get some ear buds or head phones and use them at sunrise in stead of waking everyone else up!

Watching these videos to view amicably. Amtrak is my travel mainstay, giving a Beacon of hope. And a light at the end of the tunnel. Soo scenic and simply irresistible nonstop. One day, will be sheer essence unbelievably unimaginable, to finally be accommodated. Those beautiful high diesel engines, the cab, and the prestigious men of this world, who grace their format inside for the Amtrak journey. Self respect to their colleagues at every travel stop,duration of pk up and drop off point. On cue timely too, no matter what. They're very attentive to their superiors, upon the designated tasks given. I just love it immensely! Smile. KUDOS! A 5-Star, Blue Ribbon, and a Plaque, they'll get from me. Most definitely so! I, as one of your loyal viewers, wish to extend my blessings, hope, faith, and charity, with humble continuity. Be safe! BRAVO!! KUDOS!! CHEERS!! LIVE! LAUGH! LOVE! My prayers always for your traveling passengers, as yourselves. Smile. Courage & faith within, because everyone has families, spouses. I embrace you daily for your goodness. To do the public as you've done, there's exceptional empathy, humility, and the capacity of compassion. Tk cr!

I totally agree , it's soo pleasurable to embark upon, a treasured commemorable trip as this one. Smile. I'm completely in awe of it, due to the fact of being a bonafide, Amtrak buff. Approaching my soon to be age, of 75 yrs old. KUDOS!! I'm truly blessed and very thankful to the most High. Smile. Although I'm still currently watching all the videos, provided so consistently. Awaiting the special time and moment, to actually board an Amtrak, long distance train. Actually experiencing everything from the paid, amenities of a hotel on wheels. It's soo exhilarating to encounter the great, possibilities of real rail travel at its best. Smile. I'm impressed already, to anticipate a dream come true. Glad for the nostalgia period, in which I was able to, enjoy the comforts of the early bygone era. 50's 60's 70's mark, all throughout. By the historic railroad system, of Amtrak itself, Pennsylvania Railroad, along with the NEW/YORK/NEW HAVEN/HARTFORD RAILROAD, back then. In its full entirety, no skimping off the course of travel. Amtrak today, is in the winners circle. Monumental as ever, Regal in every sense of the word. Engineering ethics of the crew themselves, soo dilgent, civil., conscientious always

Last time I rode a train the damn conductor wanted to fight me. The only seat left vacant on his train had his open bag on the seat. I never looked at his f****** bag and the b****** wanted to throw down. Haven't been on a train since. Glad you got to LA. I live in Chicago. I'm a new subscriber!
