I think this is very poor gay.even it's country Korea is very rich country he is living in USA 🤔. The people's who forsake their countries due to livelihood or asylium seekers their countries always poor.but Korea is very rich and Beautiful country even this poor gay forsake his country.Poor gay just show his meal eating and sleeping😅😅😅😅😅
This is diesel locomotive driven,,USA can't afford electrification
Train ticket is very expensive compared to other countries and very low quality train coach
Watching from macau🇲🇴🇵🇭
Being in moving train,at peace,doing your thing,while the world seems to go by,that is a special feeling.
Thank you. It is difficult for me to travel as I am elderly. Your journey gave me much hope and happiness. Thank you!
I hope i can accompany you with this travel
This train is suitable for old people,is very slow
its never too late to travel
You are such a kind mannered youg man, you appreciate even the most awful American sweet cakes and pastry. Great video!
thanks for riding our trains here in America. Amtrak has its problems, its equipment may be old and it's no high-speed rail, but I think it's always a pleasant and enjoyable way to travel and we're lucky we have it.
I hope we expand on it. Train trips are the most pleasant one I have ever got to experience even if it is just Amtrak
Yeah Amtrak is phasing in their new passenger cars & locomotives looks to me like he got himself an older car
That's the Amtrak beauty 😍
. Thanks for sharing. Whoever is reading this comment, I wish you success, health, love and happiness!
Igualmente para Ud. Muchas gracias.
Für sie auch viel Glück 😊
igualmente
Thanks same to you ❤
Thanks!! Same to you ❤
My pleasure Kuga's Travel. Thank you for taking us along for the ride across America with you. I enjoyed it as much as you did. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 👍🏽
As soon as I saw the Sears Tower from your view window, I knew you arrived in my childhood home Chicago. Sorry that you got the old 1970s sleeper room, Amtrak really should have renovated those years ago. Glad you liked the scenery of the western states and your meals.❤️🙏
What a wonderful video. I didn't think I would like a video with subtitles but you did a magnificent job. I was worried that coming from a country with superb trains you would find many faults with Amtrak; we hear about that all the time. Instead, your very positive came through. I am inspired to consider such a journey myself. Thank you
During 34 years I travelled around the world as a businessman for important international company. I left everything to leave at this moment in my small farm enjoying the nature, in South of Brazil. But when I see your video, I can remembering a lot of places I could put my foot. Very nice.
Great video… now I’m thinking doing the same-Arigato

Those little half rooms are less expensive and the beds fold down in a different direction, so your sleep is better because you are moving with the flow of the train motion; whereas in the big sleeper rooms, you are being jostled uncomfortably in an opposite direction of the train motion, Better to book two of the smaller rooms on oppositie sides of the aisle (if you are travelling w/ someone) and then you have the option of viewing the best scenery from either side of the train, w/out having to compete w/ the standees' in the aisle. No shower in the smaller rooms, but not an issue because the small shower in the sleeper car is inconvenient and not used because everyone uses the larger shower rooms down the hall, anyway.
@@timmellin2815 Them's some pretty good tips there.
❤❤❤❤
I wish I was with you
In 1970 i took one of the last original California zephyr Pullman from Marysville ca to Chicago i had a sleeper what a trip going acrossed the Bonneville salt flats and watching the sun go down in the last car with all the windows what a sunset!!!! It was a nineteen forty era pullman it was great!
This was a wonderful trip thank you for taking me with you 😄
I don't like Cheerios but when you said thank you for my meal that filled my heart with gratitude thank you and blessings❤❤❤
This is a wonderful episode, loads of appreciation for taking us on this great travel experience through beautiful America, Amtrak doing a great job, hope this reality would be on my bucket list by the grace of God, really really enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of this wonderfully amazing video. Thank you once again Kuga travels, wishing thmore and more and more resilience
In "days of old" (pre-Amtrak) you could reserve a sleeper car compartment from NYC's Grand Central Station (via Chicago) all the way to San Francisco. The NYC to Chicago's LaSalle Street Station portion would be via the New York Central's "Lake Shore Limited", then your train car would be shuttled over to Chicago's Union Station. Then continue on to San Francisco.
Uh, Oakland, actually. Up until some time in the 1950s, the train would terminate at a ferry boat pier for a water crossing to San Francisco. After ferry service was discontinued, it was (and continues to be) connecting busses across the Bay.
@@christopherstephans3383 A "Coast to Coast" NYC - Los Angeles sleeper thru-car ticket could also be obtained during the same time period (pre-Amtrak). Combining New York Central & then AT&SF's "Super Chief" for the west of Chicago portion.
Me sitting here watching in Aus willing you not to go have a nap just as you are passing through the Rockies, best scenery of the journey.
“One ticket to diabetes town” made me subscribe to your channel 🤣🤣
I rode train from New Orleans to San Francisco 1974. Train hasn't changed, I'm sure they changed the seats, beds but everything is the same. Food is done different, we had a dinner car with cloth napkins, tablecloth. We had the menu to choose which meal. Also had a lil snack store downstairs... Going thru Texas was the most fun, people racing the train when road was along side the train tracks.
I enjoyed the video. Just a hint about the Viewliner bedroom, though you probably already learned this. First, the single seat next to the bathroom folds up and stows against the corner leaving plenty of room to use the shower and bath. The en-suite shower is why your bedroom costs so much more, I'm surprised you didn't try it. It's much more comfortable than the shared shower.
Regarding the "beatbox door" -- that's a door that opens to allow two adjoining bedrooms to be joined for families. You have some cardboard safety flyers in the pocket next to the table. There are one or two "sweet spots" in the door where you can jam the cardboard between the door and its frame. That will stop the annoying rattle. I do this while the train is rolling, so that I can find just the right spot. At 5:11 in your video, you can see where a prior traveler made an attempt. Once you find the right spot for the cardboard, the rattling will stop. I know this shouldn't happen, but it does. FWIW, the same happens in the new Viewliner II bedrooms as well.
I've booked a trip on the Zephyr next January, out to Emeryville and back the next day. I take an Amtrak vacation each year, and next January I'll be doing a round-trip between Boston and Emeryville. I'll be on the Lakeshore from Boston to Chicago, then the Zephyr, then making the same trip back.
I really enjoy riding in the observation car and eating in the diner. I enjoy making new friends while watching the scenery slide by.
always wanted to try this train. thank you for the video i'll remember not to get the most expensive room
Your travel videos are so comforting to me.
I envy you for your trips!
i tylko tyle nic więcej
Try watching the flipflop traveler he has some great trips and reviews. Trips that I will never be able to afford, but they are extremely well done and very interesting as he covers airlines, trains, and hotels and foods.
The announcements in the Amtrak trains are just amazing 😂
I can’t wait for the day that train travel becomes more popular throughout the U.S.! I’ve always said that a passenger train between the major Texas cities would do wonders!!
I live in Houston and that would be wonderful! They have talked about it for years
@@sharonrudolph3648 their is a website about the potential future project of a Houston - Dallas high speed passenger rail one day!! I hope it becomes reality 🤞🏻
I rode the train from NYC to Chicago in 1975 and they were saying the same thing then...
Lack of political will and secondly he hes to drive 175 miles over time
We have Greyhound buses to everywhere. Trains will never become popular here.
I enjoyed watching your trip. I liked the way you showed the 5-day journey without making it boring. Thank you!
Correct Sir !
Omg, Kuga was at our local train station (Albany, New York)! That was exciting to see. Thank you for another wonderful video and for your positivity (also enjoyed your humorous mini-critiques)! 🙏🙏🙏
What a great trip, from East Coast to West Coast by Amtrak. Yeah, Lake Shore Limited is the fastest way by train from New York to Chicago via Upstate New York, but if you want more scenic, take the Cardinal. Unfortunately you got the older generation of bedroom, which some part is "beatboxing". Something interesting to see when you boarding the California Zephyr is the train announcement. Rockies area never disappointed, and also it's great to mention all natural landscape around California Zephyr route.
I'm Hong Kong in New York, thank you so much for the video, I'll plan on it, so good, wish you have a good trip...👍🤩
Thank you for sharing this. Your camera picks up details really well. Some of your shots of the mountains and big cities looked almost 3D. Was wonderful. When I was about 12 years old I rode the train from Detroit Michigan, to Chicago and then into Los Angeles California. On the same Amtrak Trains. This was back in the late 1960s...which goes to show how old our trains are in the U.S. We were in economy seating which worked out fine.
Suddenly, this Video popped up,in front of me. Maybe- its time for me to enjoy this journey.. .🙏
Kuga’s Travel ….Thank you so much for taking me on that journey with you ,I thoroughly enjoyed it.I love your videos please never stop sharing them .Kind regards from Margaret in Australia 💜😀💜
I love the “beatboxing door” comment 😉
Because of the Japan rail enthusiast videos, I myself got on the Amtrak and rode it a very short way to the next town down the line, got off and rode the next one back. It was fun! I now plan on doing longer trips in the future! 😊 thank you Kuga, and all the you tubers who have contributed to my act of bravery! 🎉
Kuga, it doesn't matter if the trip is good or bad, you always seem to find enjoyment. While you were in Australia last visit I hope you had the chance to catch The Spirit of Outback I heard it's a pleasant trip.😀
This video is well done. My husband I really liked how well narrated the video is. This really makes us interested in going on the same trip. We will have to check out more of your videos on TH-cam. Thank you!
Sue and Jim
I too will be able to enjoy the view because this is part of America l haven't been to. Thank You
Great video. Glad you enjoyed your visit. And being from Chicago, glad you liked the pizza.
Thanks for sharing your nice & Long journey. I enjoy watching it. 😊🎉😂
"Holy cow I don't think this is earth anymore" 😂😂
To alleviate that beat box door, just shut one or two washcloths in the door and it will stop.

Exactly
What beautiful landscapes 🌎🏞️
The trains in Japan look so much more appealing than our trains in the US.
Pres Biden is trying to get up modernized, but GOP congress doesn't want to approve budget 😞
Republican puppets for Big Oil, Big Auto and the airlines have sabotaged US trains since the 1950s. The result? More USA "3rd world" infrastructure. Even though Amtrak "tries hard" --it's sad, especially when compared to fabulous Japan and EU trains
@nydiamontanez8025 you mean there is no budget cause sleepy joe keeps sending billions to ukraine. Smh
@@Gilvidsyou realize that the money being sent as aid isn't part of the same budget as infrastructure spending?
@@hugothepinkcat, don't mind him, he's an anti-Ukraine aid moron (and he's also probably one of the people would wouldn't support more money being given to Amtrak, and also was one of the people wo opposed Obama's attempt to build nationwide high sped rail.)
Lo pase espectacular.los viajes en tren son inolvidables.muy comodo confortable.espero hacer un día ese viaje,el paisaje me encanto son cinco días muy placenteros.les felicito.
Un cordial saludo. 🚞 🚂 💐
"This is a journey of a lifetime" .. You are not wrong this would take a lifetime to get through. Thanking you for doing this so the rest of us can watch
Nah, I’d love to do this too and will one day soon
I always enjoy traveling with you, Kuga! Thanks
I love your videos. Your content is very enriching. It helps us get an idea of what it’s like to travel the world. Fantastic work. Thank you very much for providing me with moments of healthy and relaxing entertainment. An Big Hug from Brazil!!!!
Great video. Loved the long takes, the absence of music, the subtitles, the authentic audio, the thorough descriptions - everything! May I ask what equipment you used to film? Camera/optics? You have a new subscriber!
Amtrak is like two different companies depending on where you board. Hey, Amtrak, what’s going on? Great video!
I've subscribed to your channel and following from London England. That was amazing train journey thanks sharing......
Amtrak is the most ultimate way to travel!! Done Amtrak more than a dozen times!!
It seems the scenery from Chicago to San Francisco is more beautiful, is it yes or not! I did chat with Amtrak about a train ride across America and they advised me exactly the same - NY - Chicago - San Fran! Thanks for the video!
Thanks you Kuga for sharing the experience , i really enjoy your Video , less talking but very entertaining , you are very kind and always appreciated what you got . I just visited Japan and love it
Congratulations Kuga, for that breathtakingly beautiful 5 day train journey across the US
I really enjoyed your journey! I made it to the end and I really enjoyed every moment. I really appreciate how you always say thank you for your meals and other things., it's such a beautiful attitude to have. I look forward to your next journey and I wish all the good fortune and safe travels.
Amtrack gets an unfair rap ! They are just different to Japanese trains . Really enjoyed my trips in the US ! If you want a boring rip off try the Gahn or Indian Pacific in Oz . Have traveled on all three .
Great video very scenic, I’m not sure about the food, it would be easy to put on weight but you are on holiday so who cares, thanks for the video
very enjoyable video. Glad you enjoyed seeing America. thanks for sharing
Arigato gozimus Kugasan. Always enjoy your travels. 🙏😁
5 days of industrial food !! You did it !!
Beautiful scenery. Thanks Kuga for the humor. This is my dream trip❤
Welcome to United States, Kuga.
The journey will be decent but nothing compared to back home in Japan. Don’t be surprised to encounter shaky seats, obsolete system and food served in dollar store dishes.
But overall I did Enjoy every bit of the coverage of your trip story. After all US has so many other benefits to experience that most other countries don’t.
After 4 days,however, you do get tired, or it seems.
While the long distance Amtrak is amazing, it's anything but luxury. Coming from Japan, you would know it even better.
Thanks ~
Cool recording, thanks for posting!
While you were having breakfast, or at least about 30 minutes before arriving in Reno, if you had looked out to the left, you might have seen me waving to your train, as it goes right past my house in Fernley, Nevada. The CZ is a wonderful trip, and I'm glad that you got to experience it.
that was very informative. I also appreciate that you included the price and what was included; plus that you had to change train in Chicago.
Thank you for responding and your tips. Much appreciated.
Kuga, is this a re-mix ? I feel like I have seen most of it before. Still fun though, thanks !
Wow what a journey, thank you for sharing it. Xx
안녕하세요. 저는 한국사람 입니다. 당신의 영상 너무 잘 봤습니다 그리고 많은 도움이 됐습니다. 다음에 저도 이 여정으로 가족과 함께 여행을 가보려 합니다. 언젠가 한국에도 한번 놀러와 주세요~ 감사합니다~~ I LOVE JAPAN~
That was a blast! Great video dude! :)
I enjoyed watching your video . Thank you!
Amazing video, thank you!
A chess board 😮 . Bloody hell ! That's the sweetest kiss i ever received on my softest corner.
I am grateful that i found this video. Thank you sir for sharing your wonderful 5 days journey. I hope one day I can share mine own experience too. I'm from New York and I think i need to do the same. Enjoy your next travel.
Thank you so much for sharing your trans-continental US train journey!
I missed this since I was just on LA when I visited USA thanks for your vlog it's wonderful.
Marvellous. Excellent , thanks for letting me join in a journey of a lifetime 😊
Absolutelly beautiful to watch
Great way to travel
It looks like a dream ! ❤
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, well filmed and edited. Sorry our windows weren't clean for you! 🐻☕
Denver station is as far as I made it. Ended up in St Joseph Hospital, getting an appendectomy. Thank you to the kind worker that gave my dad and I a ride to the gate (1960s )
You nailed it. Best Amtrak video I’ve seen.
I'm Shanthalal Weragoda from Sri Lanka . Thank you very much for showing this video .I with one day to experience this journey ❤
Haven't we seen this video before? I remember the noisy room and you wanting to be in the nicer/cheaper one!
Yeah I remember this too.... I think this is a longer extended version? I don't know
Thanks!
Thank you!🤝
Very beautiful passenger comforting travel Japan . Respect !❤❤❤
Me encantó el video , me encantó que me llevaras a recorrer el país, soy mexicana y vivo en Chicago pero nunca e podido viajar . Así que disfruté con tu paseo , gracias por compartirlo
What a great trip! I love your humor! Keep having fun.😊
Thank you very much!
God bless America.
Love the video ❤. Ever since my aunt and uncle took Amtrak from Chicago to Grand Canyon, I have wondered what Amtrak is like. I wouldn't want to spend 5 days straight in a limited space because I have developed a tendency to get claustrophobic and stifled of late. But breaking up the journey every 18 hrs. should work for me.
Love the narrative! Thanks for sharing your experience!
I just watched your trip with Amtrack in United States.I totally enjoyed your peaceful video.and love the way you thank for everything.when you visit Las Vegas I can totally be your host as I am a chef and you love food😅
Wow amazing Travel ❤❤❤
This is one of my dreams. I hope I can have this trip before i die. I love to work in amrtack crew as i love trains❤❤❤ and i love the scenery
Hello from Utah! Cool video. Thanks!
I so enjoyed your video and rail experience. Love your humor. I wish I had met you on my transcontinental trip last month.😩
What a wonderful adventure - thank you, Kuga!
Excellent Blog! Love from Bangladesh. 🇧🇩
This is one of my dreams. I hope I can have this trip before i die. I love to work in amrtack crew as i love trains❤❤❤
You passed through Denver.. my neck of the woods, you got a good shot outside Union Station on Wyncoop Street..! I dropped off and picked up a lot of people in front of that station when I drove for Lyft. 😊👍
The cuisine looks exquisite!
Oh I love the USA my dream from New York to San Francisco is a trivial train ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
