To be fair, I made a trip to Florida to help a person move north. The flight we were to catch going down was cancelled due to weather. We could have driven down and arrived in a lot less time than it took to fly as the next flight was the next day.

Hey peeps in Europe, this is why Americans need their cars. Mass transit is a government subsidized disaster.

Every time a train gets discontinued it seems to be because someone doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on rail service

Awesome video, I'm planning out my trip and need all the info I can find. I was curious about this particular line and it answers all my questions.

Awesome! Thank you for making time taking me along.

QUESTION: u can take dogs on this train? hope the train stops every 4 hrs so the dogs can go potty! what if the dog makes a mess on the train? im glad they dont have to crate them. but i wd NOT want to encounter a pitbull or other aggressive dog on the train.

Brutal

Your reaction when the train went by is the same as mine......oh yeah! Looked like a nice small town. Love exploring with you. What was that thing you ate for lunch? Looked good.

Other airports/cities do a much better job at this. FlyAway is a bit of a joke

Reminds me of a submarine.

I couldn’t find that hotel on google maps

What does 223 mean on your hat? This looks like a excedrin type day there. Always interesting as per usual. Thanks Jeremy 😊

25:21 The only graffiti that I’ve seen on this channel. How refreshing not to have to see graffiti everywhere.

What do the numbers on your hat mean?

Amtrak is a mess. In China, they keep lines open even if for many years they take losses. They keep expanding the lines to permanently connect more cities and towns. There are benefits in the long term.

i was hoping to see antioch this whole video

Wow. Never.

How’s everything going?, unusua l. take it easy!

You're supposed to get turn down service

Fab dino's.

I love how you explore, discover, take chances.

Norway Sweden Switzerland are puppets for the American and more commist than Russia

The connections east are getting closer. I can't wait. Last word was end of 2024. Test runs are going currently

Thank you, your experience is a great help for my plan To/ From LAX and Union station.

I ride Amtrak for bike touring when possible. It gets me there, sometimes on time.

I never even considered this because of the cost, delays. I used to bang I-95 between NNJ and Key Largo(Miami) a lot. 18 hours was my record. That's bangin'. With stops for bathrooms and meals. Virginia, and the Carolinas are about 3 hours each, Georgia less than 2, Florida another 3 hours to get to an equal distance down the coast, Sanford would be out of my way. Very few travelers final destination on this train is Sanford, FL and they probably don't live in Lorton, VA----so there might be considerable driving to get on and leave the autotrain. Why someone would have to have their personal car in Florida on a vacation boggles the mind. But, perhaps a snowbird living in Florida half the year from Maryland or somewhere close to Lorton, this would make economic sense, instead of a 2nd car that just sat unused for a long time in Florida. I would suggest driving instead and breaking the trip up into parts..Take a side trip to Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head/Savannah, Charleston, Columbia, Charlotte, JAX Beach, St. Augustine. Pay for a $150 motel and have a fun day. For those wealthier individuals that have a Maserati or Rolls Royce, they don't use the autotrain, they don't even blink to have their car shipped professionally to Florida and back, and they fly private. The food in these cities I mentioned previously is a lot LOT better than the train microwave food you will receive for 20 hours on your train ride. Just drive your car, it's not that far. If your destination is Key West, Disney World, Miami Beach, Tampa/St.Pete---YOU DON'T NEED A CAR there. I f you are going to see Aunt Mabel in the middle of the Ocala forest, YES you will need a car, which you can rent in JAX or Gainesville that you flew into. Autotrain--I don't understand why this is still a thing. Great video!!

I'm a canadian. I would be leaving from Peterborough Ontario. My destination is Las Vegas Nevada. I have a cat. Is this permissible on roomette? Also on connecting buses? Do you have handicapped accessibilities? I am 71 and need a walker for left leg, Again, your connecting bus's also? I think taking the train would be quite an adventure for me. After Vegas for a week, onward to Oceanside Cal for a week. Can you give me info on train there? Thank-You so much!!!

We bout to hold out and wait for a ship with this one🗣️🗣️

🚆😀🚌😀🚶‍♂😀. WWIII and boars 🤔

Nice video.🎉❤

I like your style

You are just so cool.

Amtrak used to split in Jacksonville and run I think the Silver Star more west parallel to 301 near Gainesville and through Ocala... I think this route has been replaced by buses and trains all now go down the tracks near the St Johns River through Orlando. It has 3 trains each way through there including Auto Train that does not stop.. I drive down 301 all the time and see plenty of freight trains.

So good. I love the hidden jems

In case anyone is wondering about the comments; this appeared in a video game with a very dedicated fan base

Why is this convenient? $1,000 for a 16 hrs trip, Just F'N take Amtrak or fly to Florida & get a rental car

The pedestrian bridge at the start reminds me of one at Causeway Bay, Hong Hong.

I haven’t taken it in years but I had 2 completely different experiences the two times I travelled. First time train was about half empty so we had the entire coach seat to spread across and sleep. Not great but not bad. 2nd time train was full and we had a crying child in the car all night, we got no sleep. Both trips were northbound. The experience in the passenger area looks much worse than I experienced both times. Wait, you have a room and you're complaining? Try coach. I have to hand it to you, you slept through the crew change in South Carolina. They stop later to get food and newspapers as well.

Such friendly people! Loved seeing this smaller side of Japan. We love watching and always are watching! Especially on our Amtrak adventures! Stay safe and keep kn touch my friend

The sounds of Japan are unlike any other place.

You can put your car on the train?? Never heard of that before. Like the ferry at Dover.

Those emergency announcements would have scared me so bad if I understood them. YIKES! Another great adventure with Jeremy. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!

On my first trip to Japan one of my friends gave me towel to put in my backpack .I found some cute towels on some of my trips with tourist spots on and always have one with me plus small bar soap get from hotel stays have come in handy many trips .

I love the music and scenery I have never filmed my trips to Japan not the best with cameras what kind of camera do you use does someone film it or you ?

19:23 - You had just crossed the bridge by us. We are on a boat in the water just north of your blue dot. In fact, a southbound Amtrak just now passed over the bridge here as I was typing. Our two boat head/showers are about 3 times yours.

Extremely well done documentary 👍

👍👍🚶🏻‍♂️
