Better video.

What is the accessibility for some one that is handicapped? Use of a walker?

I am going from vancouver to seattle , just want to know can i take checked luggage at vancouver station because i saw it on website that no checked bag.

This was a really informative video that answered a few questions I had. Thank you!

THANK YOU so much. This is my FIRST train ride to see a friend. I am so excited and your tips are great. Things I would have gotten wrong, non-cash, entertainment and an adapter.

Not interested in downloading an app just to find out about a pleasure ride, forget it, I HATE DAMN GOOGLE

I have accidentally been binging your channel. My dad who is aging fast said he'd love a train trip. I researched our local station to Chicago, but then looked into long distance rail trips. How fun, right?! That's how I found you guys. We watched a few of your long trip videos. He really enjoyed them, and now I want to figure out a trip all over. I'm super excited now. Maybe we'll run into each other one day! Thanks again for your videos! ❤

Tks :)

They should upgrade the trains to have Built In TV’s and DVD’s and headphones etc for Traveling .

Thanks you very important information. I am planning visit N,C to see my great grandson this would be my first train trip, My concerns is Long Lay over

I took the train from Springfield, IL to Austin, TX, about 20 years ago, and am about to do it again. Doesn't look like it's changed much, which is comforting.

I took Amtrak and someone stole my bag. Amtrak didn't do anything 😢

Hey just making sure I understand. When you said we can bring two check bags and two carry ons, does that mean in total we can have four for free?

Thank you - so informative! The fact they wouldn’t have snacks would do me in. 😮

We just took the city of New Orleans from Chicago to New Orleans,in a sleeper, all they offered us was good from the cafe car on are 18 hour trip😢

well presented :)

Cafe Car restroom is the largest not smallest!

Thank you so much for doing this. Taking my first trip in December from east coast to west coast.

Gracias!

Is that business class at 5'13 and coach at 7'15 ? Very different seats and the ones at 7'15 probably don't recline as much right?

im crying inside what do i do if im claustrophic

Thank you very much for the tips. My husband and I are planning to take our first trip on Amtrak from St. Louis to Washington d.c. and all the information you gave was very useful and informative.

Is there easy access to put your large suitcases?

Very insightful. Thank you!

Thank you

Thanks so much for all the tips, hubby and I want to do a trip from washington down to Cali on amtrak so these are great tips :D The amtrak website isn't very friendly to figure stuff out :) like how easy is it to schedule that and then get off the train at certain spots and maybe get back on another train the next day or whatever that is on the same route? I just subbed and will be looking through your videos to hopefully find out more info :D

I’ve been on so many trains but THOSE ARE FOOTRESTS?!?!

Amtrac Liars, they really a f**ked up train service!

Please, does the trains bathroons (coach seats) has showers?

THANK-YOU Very much !!! Going from MILWAUKEE,WI, to CHICAGO, IL, to ALBUQUERQUE NEW MEXICO, so I NEED ALL the tipd, I can get...I'm soooo EXCITED...😊

Great insight into travelling via Amtrak....

I'm going to travel with someone who is disabled,
How many seats are available in the lower level? Is it about half the number as there is upstairs? A lot less ? A lot more? Are lower level seat difficult to find available?

I never understood how two trains use the same track number at stations, it is a bit confusing.

I am visually impaired but am looking for a budget trip to Chicago, Is everything easy to use, restrooms, seats and any help for the visually impaired?

This video is great thank you so very much. I’m taking the auto train to Florida from New Jersey and this calmed my nervous Nelly inner child !!

Amtrack needs to visit German train system to see how it is done correctly this sounds like we are in a time warp

Do that announce the stations? Like station to station?

Accept Jesus Now Before It's Too Late For No One Knows The Returning Of Jesus Christ The Son Of God And King Of Glory

Acepta Jesús Ahora Antes Qué Sea Muy Tarde Porqué Nadie Sabe La Venida De Jesús Cristo Hijo De Dios Y Rey De Gloria
Jesús Te Ama Ahora Y Para Siempre Amén Gloria Dios Aleluya Por Su Misericordia 🙏❤️

Bring your own food!

For those who have traveled overseas on Army Airlines, this should seem like a cake-walk.

Very important information!!! Thank you!!!

What’s the security like in train stations? Can you bring food from the outside world or do you buy it in the station?

Don't do it.... people are just plain awful!!! Bathrooms aren't cleaned😊

13 hours and counting trying to change/cancel my reservation. What a crock of CRAP! THEIVING MOFOS

Hi, my husband, niece are from Ireland and will be travelling on the Coast Starlight from Seattle to Portland next month and I tried to download the app but I was told that I can't from here in Ireland. I looked at my online ticket recently and it didn't allocate a seat, I'm anxious to secure three seats together as my niece is only 17 and I want us to be together but I wonder is there any other way of finding if there is a seat allocation on our online booking, any help would be greatly appreciated

Not my very first ride but still helpful

Hi there I'm traveling from NC to NYC with two children.....I was hoping there would be any 4 chair sections ....4 chairs facing each other ....will be kinda of hard to have one of my children in another row ....I remember this kind of seating on a amtrak years ago.

Great tips😊
