2024 is shaping up to be a nicer something between the overcrowded, sardine-packed trains of 2019 and the desolate ghost-town trains of 2021.

I’ve been on the blue skyline trams but not the orange ones

Question.... do you have to be in Business class on the NE Regional to get the rear view?

Thanks for posting this!

Nice one! Saw this at the Crossing while waiting on the Big Boy too! Sad part was that it hit a tree. Anyways, this would be the ZG2LT, orginiating from Chicago and Lathrop as it's destination!

11:08 - reddish-brown steel power line.

16:40 - longest train tunnel at Cuesta Pass. Other train tunnels are shorter at Cuesta Pass. Cuesta Pass is very tall.

Nice, I’ve seen UP 8456 lead 3 different times on accident

Sounds like the puffer doesn't have a full head of steam. Around 40 years ago, Big Boy did a "farewell" tour down the West Coast and back up where it was to be retired. I remember thinking then, "This is probably the last time I'll see a steam engine, under steam." I also remember the shock of realizing that the pilot wheel I was looking at was turning, and I thought, "When the Hell did this mountain of steel start to move? And how is it so silent?" Then came the first blast of exhaust, and the long whistle, and the silence was broken. I'm still amazed how that much machinery can go into motion without making a sound. I don't know what happened, but I'm really glad that there are now quite a few of those magnificent machines that have been revived and are running again. Apparently a few of them are actually in revenue service. A steamer at the head end of a diesel consist will get a train moving and up to speed with fewer diesel units and once rolling the diesels can do what they're best at. I know they evolved a lot, but those fire breathing monsters are firmly rooted in 18th Century technology. We've come a long way -- I think -- maybe not.

I assume this isn't what they meant by railroad safety messaging.

Big Boy passed by my house last year. What a beautiful machine.

Idiots all over the tracks

What **FUN**….thank you for sharing!

That sad where did you move to

i'm going to take one of them in 1 week 😁

Can you do a morning commute and rush hour check on Bart to see if more people are riding now

SkyLink?

I cannot the whole fleet is being scrapped. There are like 670 of these cars and only 5 are being kept from scrap... 3 at a museum. The handful at the bottom of the Ocean will probably last longer :(

Classic 😊

Good video buddy 😅

The Siemens Venture cars remind me of the Comet IB cars with the open doors and the steps to climb up.

Beautiful view and videos as 4k clear 😊 on amtrak 😊😊 well done brother

3:43 D-CAR/FOTF! MY FAVORITE TRAIN

About how often does it go this way via the Niles sub instead of straight through? I’ve traveled on southbound coast starlight train 11 between Oakland and San Jose 7 times between 2016-2023 and all those times it went the direct route and it never went the Niles Canyon route any of the times

do you also have the section along the coast? that would be amazing

Cool. 😎

Wow.

Does the doors on the Venture cars have that constant bell when its open vs the California cars? If not then turn off the bell on the California cars.

Love it

Why is there no regular/quick service using this track between SF and LA??? This could be used a huge rail corridor!

2022

Silver Line extension opened on November 15

Thank You!

Nice

I missed riding last time in 2018.

Yamanote Line is my Favorite Line

Calgary Transit Bus CAD being used in the same train series we have is just funny.

BART Train is an Hitachi Train

I wonder what happened to the old parlor cars

BEAUTIFUL, STAY SAFE, OKAY😊?

I wonder what that other button is for near the floor

awesome! can you please try and do DC to NY?

我正在編寫一個地球上最好的旅程。非常令人失望，這是我可以添加的關於中國驚人技術成就的唯一片段。

I'm compiling a journey on earth's best. Very disappointing this is the only footage of china's amazing technological achievements I can add.

I've always wondered what those are, turns out to be mirrors

Good video 😅

Nice video and cool spot!
