  • I spent some years working in the railroad industry. Two fellows that I knew were, at different times, the Division Engineers in charge of track maintenance for this route in Colorado. Most train passengers have no clue about the engineering and hard work necessary to keep a mountain railroad running--those fellows lived it every day. They knew by heart every foot of track of the whole route. I also knew a number of the train crews that operated over that route on a daily basis. I'm retired from all of that and live elsewhere now, but I still keep in touch with some of those fellows. Mountain railroaders are a whole different breed.

    Props for making people aware of both options along this route and what the benefits of the more expensive option are. Breathtaking scenery.
  • I helped to build some of these cars in California. This is a Canadian carrier. So glad to hear they are now offering service here in the USA.
  • One feature of this train is you will not miss anything for it does not run through the night. My wife and I took the California Zephyr once and just as we were getting close to this route it started getting dark out. We slept through the most scenic part. We were so let down.
  • Can we all appreciate the fact that Jeb never disappointed us with his content. 😊😊😊
  • I did the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff in Gold Leaf several years ago & it was great. The food, the scenery, the history & the service were all superb. The hotel in Kamloops was modern & clean with the hotels in Vancouver & Banff were also very historic. I would highly recommend this iconic Canadian train trip to anyone.

    I finally had the opportunity to travel from DC to New Orleans and I loved every minute of the 26 hours it took. A sleeper cabin is the way to travel.

    Whenever I’m having a bad day Jebs videos always calm me down and make me feel relaxed😊
  • Rocky Mountaineer is a new train tour that I was unaware of. Looks like it's awesome other than waiting on the freight traffic even if was expected. Glad they brought the service to the US.
  • Man every time I see one of these tourist trains I get sticker shock when the price comes up. Hard to justify the expense when you're travelling with a kid like us. Thanks for doing these videos so I can get jealous.
  • I just accidentally came across your "Rockies to Red Rocks" video. I started watching it and it didn't take long before my husband says, "Honey that is the next trip we are doing." You see we have recently become empty nesters and are trying to figure out what trips to takes. This caught our eye as we had talked about doing something similar to this years ago, but kids, school, college, weddings, have kept us from doing so. Now our adventures begin as we are a table for two again.
  • I have been gorging myself watching all these train journey across, up and down America! Land I'm Obsessed! I live in the UK but mum in the USA. I'd LOVE to experienced this! All I've seen with her...so for now I'll dream and fantasize. She is 71 and still work harder than ever...Soooo Lottery please come true (through)😄😍

    Reminds me of the American Orient Express that ran 30+ years ago. Had a friend who was a porter on that train. He had a huge mustache, which inspired the bosses to dress him in 1880's British railway uniforms. He was a very pleasant guy, got very nice tips!
  • There is also a Rocky Mountaineer in Canada between Vancouver with a day stop in Kamloops in a Hotel and the next day from Kamloops to Banff. I was on this train in 2018 between Banff and Vancouver. It was incredible. Never forget!
  • @Hi_Mommy953
    I wouldn't complain about the delays just because it is so beautiful you could change your seat and see twice as much it is so beautiful I didn't know this existed I'm 64 years old and disabled power chair for the rest of my life you're lucky to see what you see I just wish I could see what you see it is so beautiful thank you so much for bringing it unbelievable thank you
  • @warrior5502
    I did this route on Amtrak from Denver to San Franciso, absolutely beautiful. Be prepared for the constant mooning by the families and people from the campsites. It's equally my favorite along with the Starlight from LA to Seattle scenic route.
  • My grandson and I were fortunate enough to be on the inaugural run of this trip. I had Rocky Mountaineer on my bucket list for at least 12 years. When I couldn’t travel into Canada last year, and this trip popped up…had to do it. We were not disappointed.
    You really did a great job of getting the adventure on video.
  • @zwebwench
    The Rocky Mountain scenery never gets old...so true! I'm so grateful that the California Zephyr goes through the same scenery for a really economical price. I've been on it both directions four times (and 9 times driving back and forth since 1971) - living in Denver and visiting my children in Northern California. Just love the ride, the history, the trees, the mountains, rocks, peaks, mesas, and the Hoo Doos near and in Utah. Thanks for a GREAT video !
  • @Michigan1985
    I'd only do one of these expensive train trips if you got to stay at the checkpoints for a longer time. Obviously it's beautiful but it would just feel rushed and I wouldn't get to be outside so my other senses could experience and enjoy it. With that said, the second day after the sun came out...wow. Beautiful.
  • @ginnyburley9552
    I never took a trip during which patience wasn’t necessary. Rolling with what happens makes every trip more fun.
