  Your previous video about the Zephyr inspired my wife and I to take Amtrak. We had a wonderful time talking to people enthusiastic about not just train travel, but travel in general. I’m so happy I found your channel. Safe travels, my friend!

  As a friendly introvert, the idea of 3 days on a train where I can hang out alone in my room contemplating America out the window, or venture forth to visit with fellow travelers when the mood strikes sounds like heaven!

  Jeb I so much enjoy your videos, I am a 94 year old resident of an assisted living community in Monroe NC and through the videos I can travel the world. My family has included members  of the travel community, My grandfather was one of the first engineers on the "Katy" railroad and my brother was a Captain for Pan Am.  I did a good bit of traveling when I was younger but since I can no longer do that your videos take me around the world. Thank  you!

  This might be a weird one, but I’ve been trying to quit drinking, New Year’s Eve was difficult (as you can imagine). But binge watching your videos on New Year’s Eve, right up until the bell, was a massive comfort and I be I’ve started the year on a great footing because of it. Continue success Jeb! Never stop adventuring!

  Don’t care what anyone says, but these Amtrak videos are extremely fun

  You must be one of the most optimistic, uplifting vloggers ever. My mood is always boosted after spending time with you. Thank you so much, Jeb, for your generous sharings.

  I love the fact that Jeb pays respect to even the support staff who service the trains on his stops.  I am new to the channel, but I'll be a long-time viewer.  Thank you for these!

  I’ve made this trip dozens of times! I actually got stuck in Chicago during a major blizzard and the trip last an entire week as Amtrak had to pay for us to stay in a hotel because the tracks were frozen. They give you food vouchers and actually put us in a really nice hotel downtown for 3 nights. For anyone reading this always make sure you get a lower level seat if you can. Much quieter and more convenient or get a sleeper.

  Never going to forget riding Amtrak to Chicago, with a friend, as a kid. Killing time and exploring Union Station, while waiting for my friend's dad, who was an Amtrak conductor. Union Station's interior was an amazing representation of a bygone era. Countless times those same trains passed by my childhood home, a few houses from the local rail yards. The horn, rumble and earth shaking vibration all a several times daily experience. It surprises me how much I miss it. This also reminds me of how much I miss my own Dad. I can still see him, on one of his regular strolls down to the corner. Standing and watching this great metal serpent go by. Lost in his own thoughts and memories.

  A long time ago, my father worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway. &nbsp;Prunes were nicknamed CPR strawberries. They were an essential <br>addition for regularity.
