So many cool tourist trains in this country to check out. Excellent report and look forward to reading more.

Great report so far! Winter Canadian is on my bucket list far into the future.

I was about to say that those who seem to imply that its no big deal and in the fine print that "you get what we give you" as acceptable normal operations as fans of Greyhound as thats essentially what Amtrak becomes with only coach car service. They continue to take away one piece at a time to...

Yeah I watched it when he released it and it was nice to get to see a tour of the inside of some of these private cars. It would be awesome if other private car owners would let more creators like him give a tour of the cars they own.

I didnt do the window cleaner thing and wish I had. It made a LOT of my photos and videos noticeably worse.

Well with the Coast Starlight completed, I got to ride in three versions of a Superliner 1. The Eagle, The Zephyr, and the Coast Starlight all had different panels next to the seats. When we hit the Santa Clara station we waited for 30 minutes or so just outside of it before actually getting...

Watched a very good video that breaks down the issues involved in this whole situation. The supply is there we are just choosing to send it where its more profitable, which isnt here.

Getting cafe car food even though I'm getting off in Dallas guess to how late we are. Rain on window so coming to 10mph and probably a stop again.

Going to find outbtoday how long it takes to get from San Antonio to Dallas at 10mph the entire way. They claim freight traffic but I think they are lying and are waiting on storms to blow over. Running 3 hours late. EDIT:Storm system must be moving north preventing the train from going...

Not sure anything will come of it but glad someone is actually paying attention and actually asking questions.

More refineries = more supply = lower prices = lower profit. The only way the US will ever see a new refinery is if the US Government builds it themselves.

Just passed the intersection and it was indeed a car that got hit. Got video as we passed by on my Osmo Action 3 so ill see about posting it later tonight.

Well it didn’t take long for them to sort it out. We (Coast Starlight) are about to leave Santa Clara.

Well I’m on the Coast Starlight headed south and we are stuck at the Santa Clara Station because we are told the Capital Corridor heading south in front of us struck a trespasser. We are told it is non fatal (we are told at this time at least) but the locomotive was damaged so we have to wait...

Zephyr leg edited in. Happy with that trip and looking forward to the next two.

I need to figure out how to get a portable AC into a roomette. Both trains so far my roomette has been 80F+. I really wish I could open up a window.

First leg completed, Dallas to Chicago. My first trip on Amtrak. Started off properly by departure being delayed from 340 to 505. Entirely expected lol. Dallas Eddie Bernice Johnson Union Station is nothing to write home about. Too many shady characters to attempt pics or vids Though...

I got the confirmation three hours later.
