AMTRAK California Zephyr (CHICACO - SAN FRANCISCO) Complete Review - Fall/Winter
Would you travel across the US by Amtrak Sleeper? This video is about my Amtrak trip from Chicago to San Francisco (Emeryville) by California Zephyr in November (around Thanksgiving).
California Zephyr is the 30th longest train in the world, with the total travel distance of 2934 km and travel time of 51 hours 40 minutes (3days and 2 nights). There are coaches, roomette and bedroom cars, and meals are included if traveling by sleepers.
I experienced different types of landscapes, weather, people and cultures during this trip. It really feels good to see views bypass your window!

Sunrise Izumo departs from Tokyo Station
มุมมอง 1.1K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Japanese sleeper train Sunrise Izumo (Tokyo to Izumo) departs from Tokyo Station. Taking sleeper train in Japan is unique and abnormal: firstly, there is no more than 5 sleeper train in Japan due to the development in railways. Secondly, its travel speed is between Shinkansen’s and local service Densha trains’, perfect for what we call “travel”.

    Maybe someone can help me with this question..... just to be clear so I understand..... Did you actually get on a different train once you went through customs in Niagara Falls? Thanks for your help!

    While the rest of the world are using mono rail speed trains, USA and Canada are still using locomotives that move areund at a speed of an adult turtle.

    Is it the same exact train when you cross the border.... Or is there a different train waiting for you at USA border?

    Train is a nice way to travel if you have lots of free time and want to make it part of your trip. Much slower than air travel of course and all of these stops along the way can add up. We need a good intercity express like in Europe and Asia.

    I really like the way you let the trip speak for itself. And why not when you came back with such beautiful footage. Thanks for sharing your trip. I want to take the California Zephyr now.

    Really all you've done is sat on your backside stuck your camera to the window to treat us some very bleak winter landscapes, do you actually eat money doing, don't even know what the train looks like please could these trips come with a warning so I don't waste my time.

    It is a shame that in every view of the train going past an interstate, the cars are passing the train. The railroads have let the track go into such disrepair to allow faster speeds.
