Amtrak Southwest Chief - Amtrak Superliner Family Bedroom

I'm literally the guy who you recorded washing the windows 23:50 and we actually do have a airport here in Albuquerque, it's called the ABQ sunport it was cool to see myself in the video this was on my news feed I've been washing those windows for three years so seeing this was awesome 😎 I'll definitely share with my coworkers I hope you read this comment

In the past, I recall the creative director being referred to as "girlfriend".. congrats on the upgrade, Jeb!!

In 1984 I graduated from college and tried to talk some friends to drive cross country. I had no takers. I took a train from Baltimore to San Diego. What a great trip it was.

The way you narrate these Amtrak journeys conveys well how the experience is, very relaxing.

Everyone should ride the train at least once. I've enjoyed numerous long trips, Christmas was special, stayed awake during the night to see little towns, farms all lite up. Thanks for taking me along this evening.

I'll admit that I haven't necessarily watched all of your videos, but since this is the first time I've heard the creative director described as your fiancee, Congratulations!

I took a 3.5 day ride from the east coast to the west coast, taking a total of 3 trains and a bus to get from NY to SF. It was one of the highlights of my first trip to the States and the view was amazing! We went through so many different sceneries as we were crossing the country, from snowy trees to open desert. It truly is an underrated way to travel.

Jeb, I don't remember how I first came across your channel. But I greatly enjoy it. Your calm demeanor and camera presence make us feel like we're traveling right along with you. Your honest opinions and feelings make your videos that much more authentic. Your love for what you do and your fans is very evident. Thank you for allowing us to ride along with you!

“My fiancée”... Congratulations to you both! :)

Hopefully the food goes back to what it was before the plague, it was good when I had traveled in the past on Amtrak. Was nice to have a reservation in the dining car and the food looked nothing like what you showed, I hope to god it reverts back after the plague

I grew up on the Pueblo of Laguna (NM) reservation. We still wave to the Amtrak Southwest Chief when we see it passing through our tribal homelands. In 1999, my parents, brother and I journeyed by Amtrak from Albuquerque to Chicago via the Southwest Chief. Then we took the Lake Shore Limited from Chicago to NYC. We made stops with in Cleveland and NYC where we visited friends. From NYC, we took a combination of train and bus to Rhode Island and Maine. Again two stops to visit friends. We took a bus down to DC where we stayed with another friend. Then we got back on Amtrak via the Capitol Limited to Chicago. Then we went home to NM aback on the Southwest Chief. The entirely of this adventure was almost three weeks… but it has been a highlight of my family. My children want to do a train trip adventure before they begin their journeys into life. Your video is one I am sharing with them. Safe travels!

My parents were from Raton and my great-grandfather was a engineer for the AT&SF. Great to see the Raton sign again, climbed that hill many times as a kid.

The Southwest Chief... every Boy Scout’s link to Philmont Scout Ranch, a 1/2 hour shuttle ride from the Raton, NM stop. Seeing that stop brought back memories.

I appreciate those kind words of the Southwest Chief. Being a passenger rail advocate with my rail advocacy organization and my hobby which is railroad photography. It has been a long decade to ensure the Southwest Chief remained on her current route. Amtrak has tried to terminate the service and or re route the service out of Raton pass. I live along the route between ABQ & LMY and see the Southwest Chief passes behind my house daily which always brings a smile to my face. I frequently use Amtrak’s Southwest Chief and I never get bored with the route. But allot of your comments on the scenery of the Southwest Chief seems to never get old and I always learn something new.

Yes, I have crossed the US by train several times. I found your comments echoed my own thoughts. I loved seeing the geography of the US come alive for me as I crossed the continent from east to west, eastern forests to Midwest prairie to Great Plains to mountains to desert. It really was a wonderful experience.

Departing Chicago10/22 at 2:50PM and arriving into Los Angeles Union Station on 10/24 at 7:55AM, I just completed a trip on the Southwest Chief in Car 331 Bedroom A. As a late 2021 update: Car purser and dining attendant (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) service has returned and is included for sleeping accommodations passengers. I brought snacks, water, and bourbon. In addition to seeing how spectacular the US's Great Plains, mountains, rivers, small farming towns, and big cities are, I truly enjoyed meeting my fellow Americans. In ages when we can get anywhere quickly, it was the experience of seeing America and meeting people that made this an unforgettable experience.

My flying phobia finally got the best of me. I went cross country by train and loved it.

So far, my wife and I have made 5 "overnight" trips from Philadelphia on Amtrak. They were 3 to Ft. Lauderdale, FL, 1 to New Orleans, and another from N.O. on to Phoenix. We are in our late 70s, so we book a roomette for each of us to avoid having to use the top bunk. This also gives you some private time as well as more room for your baggage. We are going to Florida again in 4 weeks. We do fly home each time. Some of our train travel is free, thanks to my Amtrak Master Card usage.

Greetings again Jeb. I was fortunate that my Dad (RIP) worked on the train as a Sleeping Car Porter. From the time I was born until Dad retired in '72, I road with Dad two to four times a year across country out of Oakland, Ca to Houston, TX, Chicago , New Orleans, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York and one time from New York to Miami when Dad got assigned to work a Private Sleeping Car for Redd Foxx; whom he knew from back in the day. Thank you again for bringing back some fond memories .

I just came across your channel a week ago Jeb, and loving watching your videos. I've been on a roadtrip from coast-to-coast mid USA, but there's something very soothing about the idea of travelling across a country by train, and I do hope to see more of your beautiful country by train during a future trip. Greetings to you from Australia.
