great trip ride along video on the Crescent Route with outside and indoor tours and the engine swap
-
Nice!
-
Awesome Trip ❤🎉😊
-
Finally a review of the actual train instead of an ego fest by an annoying presenter. Awesome job!
-
Seeing the train on the skinny bridge over Lake Pontchartrain was so cool, it's like the train is just flying over the surface of the ocean. Beautiful views, almost a little scary
-
Thank you so much for this video. We are traveling by train from Philadelphia to New Orleans round trip. I felt so good about the ride back home. I am excited and cannot wait to see the country this way.
-
Glad to see that infamous subway 😋 is still in the station. Remember grabbing one pre board. Lol Takes me down memory lane forreal I have rode the crescent many times from NY to NOLA glad to see not much has changed with that good old station 😇🥰😍 love ❤ it. Driving past that dome and riding across the Pontchartrain, good footage.
-
i can remember getting a sleeper up to philly or ny you still had time to catch a few zzzzzz now it's daylight when the train arrives in greensboro
-
You are awesome. I will try to video the entire trip also. This is something totally different for us and I am up for the experience.
-
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put this together and share it with the many rail fans on YouTube. I’ve seen the Crescent many times at Laurel Mississippi and would love to take it all the way to New York.
-
You can tell that so many of these stations along the way were built to handle far more traffic than they ever see now. Multi-platform stations for what, two trains a day? It's a very obvious sign that things used to be different regarding rail travel in America.
-
Thank you. We need more videos like this where the persons with the camera are not talking or showing their faces through most of the videos. I usually check travel videos when I plan to take a trip somewhere & most of the people posting the videos seem to be more focused on recording their not-to-attractive faces than on the sceneries.
-
Dude all the diagrams you put on your videos really put it over the top. I’m bedridden for a couple weeks and enjoying your videos!
-
One hell of a video. Thanks.
-
When you posted North Philadelphia on your video, you were still in West Philadelphia, by the Philadelphia Zoo, the first zoo in the USA... after that, pass the river then that's North Philadelphia
-
Station stops were nice touch.
-
Change my plan from Seattle to New Orleans for Feb2024 just to see Lake Pontchartrain
-
Just wish you would have filmed going over the dam at Lake Accotink between Burke, VA, and Springfield, VA.
-
Very cool video. Thanks for sharing. I live in Atlanta and am contemplating taking the Crescent to NOLA then the Sunset Limited to LA then Coast Starliner close to Emeryville then the Zephyr to Chicago and fly back to ATL. I would do a roomette with all those overnights. Do you see any problems with that itinerary?
-
I rode the Crescent from Atlanta to New York several years ago. Arriving at Penn station under Madison Square Garden is really like arriving in a basement. Would love to get a chance to see the new Moynihan Train Hall in person.
