How to Survive 3 Nights in a SEAT on U.S. TRAINS, Solo | Amtrak California Zephyr
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- The other week, I ACCIDENTALLY booked myself a single seat (not a bed!) on Amtrak's California Zephyr, a journey crossing the ENTIRE United States of America over 4 days. It wasn't easy, but I'm always up for a good survival challenge :D
See how I survived this crazy journey! Would you do it too?

The trick is to trat it like a hiking trip. You bring Mountain House or similar camper food. You can get hot water from the cafe. You bring a pouch of Dude Wipes to give yourself a daily sitzbath and then use your deoderant, toothbrush, etc. You also bring some no water shampoo - it's easy to find in most grocery or department stores. And the seets kick back to pretty close to flat, so instead of cramping sideways, you can lay out. The foot rests will support your feet to get you close to flat. As a 6'3 person, I had no problem stretching out.
“Come on, you’re holding up the line!” That about sums up traveling in New York City right there!
Exactly 🙄
Yep. A memorable trip for her...right up until the grouch at the end! Hey, old man...be grateful you still have a job. 🙄
@@susiemark54 take trains in NYC and you'll see...
I'm fairly sure this part of the video is being misunderstood. Yes, there are a lot of rude Amtrak employees, especially in New York State, and they're a curse on the company and I've often gotten on their case when I've run into them as a passenger; but if you listen carefully to the tone and rhythm of this conductor's voice and look at the expression on his face, it seems pretty clear that he isn't being rude: rather, he's enjoying her vlogging delivery (I think that's him laughing appreciatively in the background after she says "Guys, this feels slightly surreal"), and is just good-naturedly kidding her about the awkwardness of her rolling a suitcase, recording a video for an audience, and exiting the train car all at the same time; and she seems to get the joke and to be going along with it. Note that the next passenger is several feet behind her, so there's obviously no real need for her to hurry; and note the high, artificial, pseudo-theatrical way in which the conductor says "Come on, you're holdin' up the line, we all want to get outta here, yeahh!": he's not actually being authoritarian, but rather is making fun of himself as an authority figure and taking the opportunity to joke around with a very charismatic passenger (who he was probably a bit smitten by, as just about any red-blooded hetero male would be).
That said, the light-hearted nature of this interchange is a bit too subtle to come across clearly in the video, and arguably should've been edited out for that reason.
mpaulshore I have been lucky to run into a lot of nice Amtrak employees. My last trip on the Capitol Limited was full of them, and they even remembered me on my return trip a couple of days later.
I'm the type of person that can look out the window the entire trip and not get bored of it.
JimmyG wow isn’t that what it’s all about? Did you not do road trips as a kid?
I do exactly that on flights from the uk 🇬🇧 to Bangladesh 🇧🇩, that’s about a 10 hour flight
If that's the case you're wasting your time on garbage Amtrak. Jump a freight. Do it on your own schedule. Ride in the daytime for the greatest part of the ride instead of missing it at night. And oh yeah, save the ticket price. It's free. Watching America go by on a train is one of the true American adventures.
Me, too. It must be genetic. My husband and I can travel for 8 hours and barely speak, because I am looking at the scenery, and he is paying attention to the road.
Count me in
Hey Eva, I live right there at the California/ Nevada state line where the I-80, the train tracks and the Truckee River runs south to north and parallels in a community called Verdi. And the Amtrak train passes by my house all the time. One of those passes you were on board. It’s the story of two ships. I really love how you have a compassion for life, I can see it in your eyes and I can feel it in your smiles (it’s contagious). Also enjoyed your journey and visit with the family out in the middle of the desert on a Toyota pickup truck. Godspeed Eva on all of your endeavors. Happy New Year.
I actually like the narration. I also enjoy train travel, so this video was a nice review of the service you get on Amtrack for their long distance routes.
What I do is do a bird bath. Wash the bad areas. The hair you can wash bring a cup fill with water pour over hair. Shampoo. Repeat.
That's so hard with long hair, though. Dry shampoo works much better.
I use body wipes from Dollar tree. And dry shampoo.
Yep, wash the hot spots!
Love the US countryside. I wish I could experience riding a train from coast to coast too.
You can!!! just make the plan. It will take just over 70 hrs (or 3 days). I traveled Los Angeles to NYC in 2018 & 2019. I will take train trip over plane trip from now on. Shorter the distance, the cheaper. You can have free shower too. I'll tell you all about it, if you plan to travel on Amtrak.
@@youngchu1638 How do you take a free shower?
@@IMSiegfried You must purchase Business Class or higher ticket to have an access to Metropolitan Lounge (shower) at the station (Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, Washington DC, Philadelphia, NYP, Boston). Both 2018 and 2019 (LAX to NYP), I purchased Business Class tickets (CHI to ALB in 2018 through Lake Shore Limited) (CHI to NYP in 2019 through Cardinal) which gave me access to shower in Metropolitan Lounge in Chicago Union Station. It is spacious and clean. Unless you are going to take shower every morning (after you wake up) in the train, I recommend Business Class ticket over Roomette or Sleeper (in my view) (without spending thousand dollars and change).
I always prepare mini bottles for my shower kit (from Walgreens) (Nice! On The Move Travel Bottles 4 Piece Kit 3.4 Ounces - 4 ea) and put shampoo, body wash, essential oil, face wash, and salt scrub) and the toothbrush, sea salt, and small medication bottle for sanitizing the toothbrush (submerge it into salt water between brushing).
If you happen to purchase Roomette or Sleeper (Bedroom), you can have access to shower inside the train. Sleeper has both shower and toilet access from the room but you must travel to shower and toilet for Roomette. The meals and shower accommodations are paid for both Roomette and Sleeper passengers (both have beds). If you are private person traveling with one of your best friend and like to have shower inside the train, Roomette will be good choice.
It is better to call the actual agent (1-800-872-7245) on the phone to find out exactly what Amtrak offers and how they differ for each class. Good luck to you.
Don't be in a hurry. Many delays. Freight has priority over passengers.
“I’ve slept in worse places.” Yeah, like on top of a coal train in the middle of the Sahara lol. At least coach had a roof!
This train goes right through the rail yard I work in DENVER COLORADO and I see it all the time. I love your videos,you are such a joy to watch and listen to. 💐💐💐
Thank you Eva for going the extra mile to show us the train facilities and sleepers. That was quite a trip and you did it the hardest way possible. What a woman. Love from Australia.💕🐨
Amazing journey Eva! You did something that I’m sure very few Americans have ever done .
Thanks for showing your entitlement lesson. There are a huge amount of families (about one billion) around this world hat have been living in their cars for years or sleeping in a ditch and having to evacuate their bowels in front of other people...and you are worried about your hair and the space that lets you stretch your legs. Awesome. You are very charismatic. Direct your energy into helping more than those who can afford a trip on a train.
At 11:50 when the train employee is rude to Eva, I love her response! She is so full of joy and has such a great way of brushing him off

“You’re holding up the line!” But there’s no one behind you 🤣. Welcome to New York.
And might if I add that you looked way more cheerful during the hike to K2 base camp.

@@mpaulshore lolll you're trying too
hard to explain. He could say "thank you" to the passenger but no, he had to yell to rush her. You're probably growing up in a no-manner place thus the reaction might be normal to you.
You are so positive about it all! Beats an office job, for sure. 👍💥
I rode on the Amtrak from New York City to Los Angeles CA. It was an amazing ride. I loved travelling across our nation. I rode the Zephyr last year to Denver . part of my rail journey from New York City eventually to Billings Montana by Bus connection. I've traveled on the Empire Builder, the Cardinal, Lake Shore Limited. the Capital Limited, the Palmetto , the Southwest Chief , the Texas Eagle, the Carolinian and the Crescent. I love railroads all my life and its a great way to see AMERICA ! NEVER GOT BOARD!
You can wash up every morning in the charging room. In Chicago, you can pay for the lounge which has a shower, then walk around to get food before the train to NYC. The lounge will hold your bags. You also get food before getting the train in lounge.
Eva zu Beck, You are delightful....Attractive, smart, and personable. Quite different from the 'Train nerd'
we usually get on these reports. Keep up the good work! CCC Austin, TX
I did this trip back in 92 with no internet no phone. Just me and my partner now wife.was a bloody brilliant experience met loads of interesting people on the trip a big group of retired ladies on there way to there annually trip to Vegas that they saved all through the year 😃 .. The food was great and also we only had two seats for the 3 day trip that ended up 4 days due to delays. That was funny when the train stopped for almost 10 hours all the crew went and bought Kentucky Fried chicken for everyone 😊 . Recommend amtrak to al..l we travelled all the states in 3 months we were there. fantastic journey never to forget.
Whay hay First comment
Love watching your video's
Lots and lots of love from Azad kashmir 💚❤💚❤
And Pakistan 😍😘😍😘
It is my dream to follow your step. Thank you very much !!!
As a teen I use to do LA to Ny in coach solo too. It was rough for sure, but fun, relaxing, the occasional craziness. A life time of memories, and I'm glad I did it.
Byłem rozczarowany, że nie zatrzymałeś się i nie wysiadłeś z pociągu, aby zobaczyć moje rodzinne miasto Chicago. Chicago ma największą polską populację poza Polską. W Chicago mieszka prawie 2 miliony Polaków. W moim mieście jest bardzo dużo ludzi mówiących po polsku. W jednym z twoich filmów widziałem, że przesiadałeś się w Chicago. Kiedy zmieniliście pociągi w Chicago, naprawdę miałem nadzieję, że zobaczycie, jak dotrzecie do mojego miasta.
As an American originally from Michigan who has been a OTR refrigerated trucker for the past 22yrs, Chicago isn't the safest place to be wandering around nowadays.
When I was unfortunate enough to be routed thru there I had three .45's, a 12gauge and a dog for security and defense.
Was it legal, No, did I care, Hell NO.
I did the same thing for four days on Amtrak traveling round trip from Sacramento to Boston during the summer of 2004.
This was the video that made me booked and squeeeezed in my Amtrak train trip during my last visit to the US!!! Rewatching again just because I enjoyed it so much haha
The craziest reason to travel in train for 4 days: Video editing
😝👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Dear Eva,
You Really took me along there ..you engaged me so well throughout the vlog It never felt not even for a single second that I'm watching some kinda video or something.. you built and kept my interest level up like the way you always do.
I really enjoyed n' cherished.
Bundle of Thanks, Eva! For all the worthy n' commendable efforts.
Warm Regards,
Farjad.
I've traveled Amtrak for many year since the late 70's. Many of these cars your riding are over 40 years old, but have been refurbished more then once, & are still good riding. I now work in freight service. Anyhow love your videos!
I did the California zephyr from Chicago to San Francisco. To be honest I was exhausted the whole trip. I couldn't sleep, I had to keep the door to my roomette open because it was hot. They started talking on the loud speaker at 6am. The power outlet in my room stopped working so I had to charge my phone in the sight seer lounge. They force you to eat with strangers when all you want is some peace and quiet. It was winter time and the shower froze up. The bathroom is disgusting. Its just a hole that sucks down the waste, no water. Spent an hour or two stuck on a mountain side for a high wind warning, hour or two for a blizzard in the Sierra Nevada mountains, another hour or two for a broken rail in Utah. Don't use the train if you think you are going to get somewhere on time. I didn't get to see San Francisco at all. I arrived late and it was raining. The train would be OK if you don't have time constraints and have time to explore a few days off the train. Honestly after 3 days on a train you want off! Even coming back I missed my connecting train and had to take another one. I couldn't sleep again because I was to arrive at my train stop at 3am and I was afraid no one would wake me up. You are just better to take a car. You have more privacy and can stop to stretch your legs whenever. I did get some nice pictures though.
Thank you! I was about to book a trip! I changed my mind after reading your review!
a few suggestions ask to sit in the last row on the coach lot more room or book a business class as a former employee
Traveled from Mia, Fl to San Francisco with my husband 30 years ago! y=it took 5 days, 4 nights in coach. We loved it!!
You and your travels are infinitely fascinating.
Pakistan is missing you. We love your efforts. Lots of love from Pakistan
Amtrak in Coach today..still sounds so EASY and way better than the 7 months it took overland from New York to Portland, Oregon in 1836, by part walking, boat and wagon!
One of the best things about traveling across the country by train is the people you inevitably meet on the train. It is a unique and shared experience that connects you. I thought the video was great but missed that important aspect of cross country train travel which doesn't usually happen on shorter trips or if you drive across the country.
I traveled roundtrip from Tucson, AZ all the way to Fayetteville, North Carolina on Amtrac in a roomette by myself. From Washington, DC to Fayetteville and back I was in coach as well as another part of the trip I don't remember. We went from Tucson to Amarillo, TX then up to Chicago and further east then south, and back again. While I was in the shower the train
had a little accident and almost ran over a truck. Luckily I was able to keep my composure. On the trip back there was a passenger who had a medical emergency and the train was delayed for hours. I loved looking out the windows and the luxury the roomette afforded. I didn't like coach, In the middle of the night, I stepped on my glasses. I was without glasses for several days. It was July 2013, my 50th highschool reunion. We had a blast!! I would do it again. I have a friend in Oregon I'd like to visit and I would go coach knowing what I know now.
I might have written this when I first viewed this. I've done Toronto to Vancouver in Coach, which a great experience; now, 45yrs after that trip, I prefer to enjoy it in a sleeper ...
Eva...Thanks for saying so many nice things about the USA---even
about AMTRAK (who would have thought?), of all things.
Re-watching this, no exaggerating but you are the only travel vlogger I watch!
One thing to mention to people wanting to do this:
The cafe has snack food, but it is both insubstantial...and at a large mark-up. Like, a single plain bagel is around 3 dollars...a small microwave pizza is 7 dollars...a box of M&Ms is 3 dollars...I don't know the exact prices, but it is basically paying full meal price for a snack. Basically, if you want to eat on the train for three or four days, you will need to pack a lot of food to go with you. By the end of it, you will probably be missing real, fresh food a lot!
Hardship is relative. Many pioneers, Mormons, etc. walked much of that distance without tablets, air conditioning, etc, etc.
I'm liking your trip here in the USA. It's interesting to see the USA for your eyes. A lot of the places you are traveling through I have been blessed to see from the seat of my motorcycle. My wife and I did it on the cheap camping 3 or 4 nights between hotels. Thanks again for sharing.
have you seen her latest videos? even more amazing!
Sweet video, this was the first I’ve seen of someone in a long distance coach ride..lm getting ready to do something a bit extreme myself… I got the rail pass (gives you 10 rides over a 30 day period…in coach). I got it on sale for $299 and just couldn’t say no (especially since I have $800 in amtrak vouchers to use before next September)… my trip will take me from central Florida where I live up the east coast, across the top over to Seattle then down to emeryville… after that I will zig-zag the Midwest trains before ending up in Philadelphia and coming back home… my longest no-hotel period will actually be a round-trip+ ride because I will be going from Chicago to LA on the SW Chief, spending just about 12 hrs touring LA and hopping on the Texas Eagle to get back to Chicago before transferring to the Cardinal for my stop in Philadelphia… that is about 148 hours… but, that doesn’t account for train delays which can often add hours to the trips…I better pack some baby wipes to freshen up (luckilly they apparently have dressing rooms for coach)
I enjoyed every minute of this video! Nicely done!
I took the Empire builder from Portland to Chicago back in 2013.....also stayed in coach, best time of my life. Ive been trying to figure out how to make a living just riding the train ever since.
When possible ALWAYS book a roomette or bedroom, pricey but believe me it`s worth every penny!
This summer I'm riding that same Zephyr route from Omaha, Nebraska to Reno, Nevada. It's around a day and a half. I'll be in the cheap seat ($134), but I'll be packing my own food and drinks for the ride. When I get out in Reno (kinda like Las Vegas minor), I'm checking into Silver Legacy taking a long soak in the large hotel bathtub. I've also done multiple long haul Greyhound trips. So I understand the hygiene part well.
The biggest problem is the bathroom stuff! They are not cleaned very often going cross Country. Everything else I could deal with! I know! Lot of experience with Amtrak!
I took a train ride from Reno ,Nevada to Birmingham Alabama !! I planned for it! I had the greatest fun ride, so much fun and adventure and I slept good!!!
I've done the trip in Canada from Toronto to Vancouver. 2 days and 18hour total train time. Brutal!
Recommend a berth or a sleeper.
amtrak coach seats are like airline 1st class seats as far as room plus you can walk around
And I love it
once I took a greyhound bus from dallas tx to vancouver canada non stop. it was not easy but I loved it
Great Journey, Great Video. Thank You Eva
There is a public shower on the bottom floor of the zepher
Only if you book a room in a sleeper car. The Superliner coaches do not have showers on the lower level.
Only on the bottom floor of the sleeper car .
@Spike Elwood They might. My car attendant introduced himself to everyone in the car. There are only so many roomettes so they know who should be in the car
Amazing. Hope u enjoyed long journey. Have nice time in NY. Very good and informative video. Lots of love from U.K.
I think, I also do a part of this trainjourney with my dad next year, when we travel for 3 weeks trough the United States.
Wow 240$ is nothing for such a long distance!
Eva you are great and Awesome .I hope you come again in Pakistan. Love from Pakistan
Hate long distance journey on a seat but you did it Eva, I salute you
After watching your desert and deserted island adventures .... these accommodations must feel luxurious 😁
No kidding. . .Your face after 4 days on the train. . .Still beautiful. . .Cool video and love your ability to make an interesting presentation. . .You not only look good, but you really do a nice job of telling the story both visually and with your words. Bravo!
Been there, done that. And I did it round trip! At least Emeryville to Chicago and back. Hello from the Philippines!
We did greyhound from Miami to San Carlos California (peninsula/Bay area) back in '83. Took us about a week. All along the southern states ✓
Generally, you can talk to the Conductor and upgrade to a room. Of course, that depends on availability.
At least in the post COVID era, you get 2 seats to yourself. Believe me, I travel quite a bit, and familiar with the Sit Down and Be Quiet class of the airlines.
In ze post covid era there will be NO TRAVEL and you will all be enslaved 24/7 if you survived the death vax. Courtesy of the NWO and Gates😎
She is adorable!!!
Very difficult, Eva you are absolutely brave.
I did this journey when i was about 10, I took it from Ohio to California. This was a crazy trip.
done 5 days on coach from Los Angeles to Yucatan it fn sucked!! needles to say I flew back! lol what a trooper!!! she is awesome!
I endured 4 days/3 nights on a coach trip from Vancouver-Edmonton-Saskatoon-Winnipeg-Toronto in 1979. I slept on the luggage rack above the seats. The conductors felt sorry for me and allowed me to lay my sleeping bag out every night. That would not happen in these days.
Love you Eva. when will you come again to Pakistan?? We miss you.

I bet u do. Spend more time in cleaning up your country, and stop shielding terrorists.
@@MrHAPPYHAWAIIAN What is this? Richard !!
$241 = ₹18,000.
In India - Vivek Express covers 4300 km, more than LA to New York which is 3900km.
And here is the ticket prices for various options :
General sitting : ₹700/$10
Non AC sleeper : ₹1100/$16
AC sleeper : ₹3500/$45 including breakfast and meal everyday
AC sleeper pro : ₹4300/$55 including breakfast and meal everyday
And believe me, service is top notch !
I took Amtrak from Corrupticut to El Paso,via DC,Chicago and NOLA.
I wanted to see everything and don't think I slept until I got to Naw Leans
where I stayed for a few days.No internet in 1987.
In 1992 i took a train from San Diego to Rhode Island that went through Seattle. 5 Days/5 Nights coach. Best moment was when the two gentlemen seated behind me whom had a radio that could listen to the train personnel communications, over heard 'go get the duct tape' after the train came to an unexpected stop in the middle of North Dakota.
i like your videos before even watching them. You're Amazing!!
I have driven that rout three times, OMG I saw so much along the way, such a stunning Country I live in.
Its like you find life anywhere and everywhere, really liked your openess!!
Show something outside. Amtrak is just amazing. I have been on the plane but just is one thing I missed in US.
Hello! I'm Eva as well and I was researching coach experiences. I am traveling with friends from Sacramento to Denver, Colorado a few months! which is only 30 hours. I was going to get a roomette by myself (my friends are sisters and getting a bedroom for the 2 of them). so I think I will try COACH! (Price around 280 - 300). I can't justify paying 1500 -1600 for a roomette by myself. We are also going to stay in additional accommodations so I know I will get a proper bed when I'm in Denver. :)
that's a very comfortable train...I've been to Russia two years ago for the World Cup....rode a train (third class) from Moscow to Sochi...the trip almost took three days.......it's a sleeper train though but it doesn't have all the accommodations you have there...very long train journeys which last for days are common in Russia
this trip sound fun. i would like to to that myself, i leave in Canada and i havent tried east to west train ride . i heard thats as good ride. i have tried in the plane for 18 hours and it was really boring. i wish you well Eva.
The only think I like about your Channel because of your challenges and hardest way choose
Always spring for the full room.
Glad you got to visit the states. You went through my state of Ohio. Did you get time to see any of the Great Lakes. In Chicago that would have been Lake Michigan. Ohio is called a valley because it is flat except for the SE part of the state which has some hills. Hope you had fun!
Great blog Eva. I love how she responds to the guy saying she's holding up the line at the end of the train journey. So much positivity & joy on arrival. You go girl 👏👏👏
Why on earth u cannot sleep at night ? Still watch your videos. Love you Eva. Carry on !
Wow... What a great trip
Oh! You dont know how much I love you 😍
$241 to go across the whole country! That's pretty great...in the UK, just getting from London to Edinburgh would cost that much.
Ya ended up in New York, east of that is vermont and east of that is new hampshire and east of that is Maine! I'm in vermont and NYC is a rat infested mess, especially now with a lot of dinning closed which means no food in the dumpsters !
Wow it’s nice trip love and respect from Pakistan are u ambassador of Pakistan
That's a long journey...... Surviving it itself is a big feat
Love your blog and energy
Damn that train was SLOW.
I heard that the Zephyr runs on two freight train shipping companies tracks, Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), and Union Pacific.
The best part of being in coach is you see the scenery from both sides of the train. In a sleeper you just get the views from one side. I took a shower 🤷♀️ Must have changed that rule from 18 yrs ago.
Indeed our original Hero😇👏
interesting getting a point of view on america from an outside perspective
The correct way might have been to break up the trip and stop a few times on the way. They might have some tourist pass for usarail 459 for 15 days which is
241 is not cheap could have got a discounted red eye for 300
I was hoping you would film the country.
After 4 days you still managed to look movie star gorgeous! Also, be glad you didn't go the southern route; Texas would have been half your trip and it would have driven you BONKERS! I've driven x-country twice, yep the southern route...I don't like driving through Texas.
