- We took the Amtrak California Zephyr From Chicago to San Francisco. For $2,500 is it worth the trip?

being a European and watching you exploring the magical insights of a train is like watching tribal people visiting a sushi bar for the first time :D
😂 emotional damage 😂
Being tribal people is so good, pure happiness 😊
yeah same dude, I’m an Indian and I’m travelling in these kinds of trains for like the past 20-25 years
As a fellow European, I can confirm. I must admit our trains are much better than that shown in this video.
yes but then a very bad version of passenger trains. Amtrak is just so horrible compared to European trains
Such a fun way to travel! Glad you got to do this with your daughter. I love traveling with family. Cheers!
ikr
DownieLive travels by train! (i watched all of the episodes btw, keep it up)
Your videos are awesome!!
Love the videos!
yo downie
I’m 20 and whenever my family (12 people) go on vacation we always take the train. You meet so many people and see so many things you otherwise wouldn’t. But I will say if you’re going longer than a day a sleeper car is a MUST
I went from Denmark to Rome (Italy) in 1994 as a school trip. It was a 37 hour train ride, mostly due to the many stops and like yours that other/faster trains had to pass so on to a side track waiting and then moving again. Especially the Alps was a beautiful sight. For two days after the trip, I had the sound and motion of the train in my body, it was very strange. Very beautiful video that shows the ever changing landscape in America. You should do the same trip in Europe, that would be awesome.
Great father/daughter trip video! I think everyone should ride a train at least once in their lifetime. Truly a great and relaxing experience!
@20:32 the expression on London's face reminded me of my childhood
I used to hate my parents when they say "waaaake-uuuup, time for school"
But when they say "today we are taking you to your grandparents, you have to skip school for 2 days", they become my best friends for those 2 days 😃😂
IMO< having taken Amtrak a few times between Colorado, Arizona and California, my biggest gripe is the lack of general maintenance on the trains. Your video confirms what I've experienced. It's the little things that make the difference in a pleasurable trip vs a tolerant trip.
The coolest part of this trip is watching you with your daughter one-on-one for 50 hours. I was about her age the first time that I was one-on-one with my dad for an extended time, and it was huge in my life. One on one time (no sibling, no spouse) after 12 is so critical.
I do enjoy your videos but this was even more fun than usual!
Thank you for letting us live vicariously through your camera lens.
I live in Eagle Colorado witch is 23 minutes away from Glenwood springs. When I saw that you stopped there I felt so happy to share our beautiful home with you
Keep it up Dan I love your videos and entertainment ! The people of Colorado not afraid to show it!
As a Railfan, I was waiting for videos like this to emerge on this channel. Glad you guys enjoyed it!
Loved this video. I really enjoy watching videos you do with London. 🥰
Over the summer I rode the Zepher, you guys had the same conductor for the first part of the ride. There is a room bigger that sleeps 4, 2 Adults and 2 Children. The appetizers are not to good but everything else is ok, my favorite foods were, The French toast, the Mac and Cheese, and the Rigatoni. Nice video!
That is one of the best videos you have ever made!👍🏼
That looks like the train ride of dreams, the west coast is beautiful! Much prefer mountains and desert to plains and farmland out here in Illinois
Now I've lived out here in California for 5 months...and I do not miss the farmland!
Hey! You're in my neck of the woods! Hope you like the cold SF bay area breeze. Love the contents that you make on the main and the family channels, wishing you and your crew nothing but continued success.
was so wholesome how the guy said "mom I made it! I'm on TV!!" haha
I love this video! I always wondered about doing this sort of a trip. Thank you!
I like the entire trip that you guys made it to SF! And also did you guys made to 'Vegas? Love the content! Keep it up!
1:44 lol. The subtitle said "London's father"
the fact that LONDON was with u this time, 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻. Jst love watching her grow up from ababy LONDON to were she is now!
Love that new Swedish hat you been wearing for a couple of vids. Love your family and wish you all the best for the new year from Sweden 🤗
What a journey, amazing video!
I've never been this early. Ever. I love train travel videos, so I'm excited!
Mr Dan you have some awesome kids. Love your channel keep up the good work.
I think it’s so cool how special the Mississippi was to y’all. I live near Baton Rouge, Louisiana and cross the Mississippi all the time.
London has grown so much
I took Amtrak on the Northeastern from DC to Richmond then Richmond back to Connecticut for a friends wedding in 2018. It was really nice having the views and relatively easy. Although I personally like the freedom of driving, it was good to not have to worry about traffic
The Mississippi is wide like that pretty much all the way down. That's why the first bridge across is was such a big deal. Before you had to ride a ferry or raft across.
Lol the mooning ... thought that went out in the 90s or maybe that's just when I stopped doing it 😂
In fact it is called Grand junction because there is a junction between the Colorado and Arkansas River. But it continues to be the Colorado going through Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California
This is awesome! Also, Ottumwa is close to where I live, how cool.
Welcome to San Fran! Hope I get to see you!
We've crossed the country in both kinds of sleeper rooms for years. The smaller room does actually have a toilet that folds open.
Wow thats such a nice experience for sure its worth 2,500 dollars I take Brightline from Miami usually but this is a whole different experience
London definitely needs to make it on more episodes. She’s too cute!
The next Robert Plant! You go man. Really enjoyed your video.
In the older, "Heritage" car fleet that Amtrak used to use on the East Coast up to maybe 25 years ago, not only the showers but the toilets as well dumped right onto the tracks. There used to be a sign in the bathrooms asking people not to flush while the train was at a station.
Lol 😂
Go to France and this is still a thing and if you look at the track in a train station it’s full of toilet paper.
There still is a sign in the bathroom that says prohibited to use the restroom when train is at the station.
Dad and London do always the best trips 12/10
Great video as always
I took this train back on sept 1st from Chicago to Emeryville. I was only able to do the roomette but it was also me. Wait until you get to western Nebraska.
Absolutely brilliant review. Still laughing at all the bare bums, haha
Look it up on google, called Moon River, tradition on the Zephyr maybe not during winter time though.
i love this video so so so muck thank you for making it
I probably wouldn’t use the train for transport but I would love to go on it for the experience. Even if most of it is lack luster. At least the beautiful landscapes make up for it.
Amtrak is just to slow here were I live the train is overthinking everything on the road at 120mph. The train brings you to the center of town no problem parking plus you can do work on the train. And don’t have to drive.
Hey Dan, I just did the sleeper from NYC to Chicago and that was 24 hours. also Made a YT Vid, IT's an adventure at first for sure. But Bless you for such a long trip with your Daughter. Gotta Ask though, Would you do it again??? LOL
Welcome to TH-cam, London! 😀
Sick!!! I really want to ride on a sleeper.
As someone who lives along the Northeast Corridor I take Amtrak whenever I go to Washington DC. Super convenient and far less stressful and CHEAPER than flying. A flight from New York to Washington DC is an hour or less and I don’t want to have to go through security for an hour long flight. From New York Penn Station to Washington Union Station is 3 hours and 30 minutes. There’s no meals on the Northeast Regional trains so you have to bring your own food. They do have cafe cars where you can buy coffee and snacks.
You should've pranked Leslie. London calling her saying she got left by the train. Lol
@WHAT'S INSIDE? FAMILY love the videos you guys, keep it up
The Timelapse of the guy making the bed made me think of Casey Neistats plane videos, Great job
Took a train from Harrisburg, Pa to Philadelphia, Pa when I was 10 or 11. I've been a Pa resident all my life, but man you fall asleep so easily though
I love your videos ❤❤❤
Very cool. We have talked about doing this many times because I'm afraid to fly .
Well though technically planes are many times safer than car so if you consider that there ain't a reason to be scared
I feel like it was a missed opportunity to not put a black censor bar on the dog’s bare bottom as well 😂
Awesome trip ❤️
Great video
The blueberry cheese cake rocks!!!
I’m jealous! I’ve gone across Britain on a train but not the US.
I think you missed an opportunity to make What’s Inside videos with London while she was the same age as Lincoln. Lincoln is growing up and is busy with sports and school. He can always come back when he is not busy but you should make more content with London.
I took the train w my mom when I was 15 and it was amazing I wouldn't of omitted it then, but I do now! And loved it, from Denver Colorado to San Fran, what a trip! Welcome back any time to Colorado inside family !! W out the 🐻 butts bahaha! Why do people do that 😂🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I rode the Texas Eagle and it was much better in all categories. Food was excellent and fresh. Service was amazing. Delays are normal and ours was only 3 hours
You should try the Rocky Mountaineer
Incredible 💯
13:50 The reason you can’t see anything in the night is: because the lights in the train are on your eyes can not get used to the dark
I stayed in a similar sleeper room when my family and I took the auto train from Maryland to Florida to visit some family that live in Florida.
OML The bums thing is so dang funny
Look up Moon River fir Amtrak. You will know how it started.
I haven't seen London in a while
It looks fun
You should do the Coast Starlight....same if not better views from Seattle to LA
That is the decades-old model of sleeper car. In my experience they are really beat up. The newer rolling stock they are in the process of replacing these with is supposedly much nicer.
Did y'all feel a relief when you set foot on solid ground after the moving and rolling train?
Wow how awesome was that
Awesome videos sorry I’m so late
When will the what’s inside backpack be back in stock
the tow truck joke was funny
If you go to Chicago again You should go to bridgeview it is a Pretty cool town You should come visit bridgeview I live here In Chicago Bridgeview IL
His daughter is beautiful! I've only ever seen lincoln.
Haven’t visited this channel since 2017
From 21:57 - 22:34 is in the town where I live, Benicia. So weird to see my small town in a video.
My Grama lived there
just awesome.
Come to India and try such trains here. More lively and fun. Clean if you spend the right amount.
Bear season not bear butts😂🤣
This is going to be a fun one, I can tell already!
3:52 haha I hope that wasn't intentional!!!
If you booked a plane ticket expecting to make a few hour connection with a multi day train and miss that is on you 😂
Emeryville,California. Where Pixar Animation Studios is located.😉
5:38 Take heed to that
You should take Lincoln on the Empire Builder this winter.
Let’s talk about how Dan wanted his steak well done bro
When i saw the broken table I said 'Fix it Dan' but then I remembered you don't fix things you break things.
"yahoo" how dare you sir!
12 HOURS AGO I THOUGHT THIS WAS 2 YEARS AGO!😂😂
Love your video
You have to visit Europe the trains here are way more modern: silent (electrical), bigger windows, cheaper, more flexibility,...
In India u can get 5 star train roon in just 700 dollar and u get a king size bed and full meal pack breakfast , lunch , dinner
That's amazing
man $2500 for a 50 hour trip vs like a 200$ 3 hour plane ride, and the train has gov subsidies too. starting to understand why high speed rails never took off in the US
The next trip should be to Strasburg railroad and East Broad Top railroad
