    I like that Amtrak brought out YouTubers to the media train!

    Nice to see Amtrak accepting YouTubers as media! In Canada it varies, but the REM also invited us as media the day before the public opening.

    Here in America, we need a lot more high-speed rails for sure

    The new train smell is like the new car smell, it's the new plastic off the interior off-gazing after being semi recently manufactured

    The new train smell is called volatile organic compounds. They are found a new soft furnishings plastic, carpet and fittings. Basically plastic off gassing.

    Nice to see the US being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. Let's hope these trains do well now they're finally in service.

    That you were invited by Amtrak is a testament to the quality of content that you produce. Congrats!

    Fun fact: these can actually do 200mph, but they need real high-speed tracks for that such as in France or Spain.

    The fact this TGV is litterally taking 7 hours to cross 700km brings it back to an average of 100km/h. That's hilarious.
