Thanks for the very comprehensive video! My son and I are taking the Zephyr from Chicago to Davis in July.
This is certainly a most extensive video - just like taking the entire trip with you! Thank you for all your work filming.
Thanks for checking out my video!
Just one more comment I live outside of St Louis and in 1967 we drove to California on Highway 70 that's the highway you see next to the train now called Highway 6 when we went through it was just two lane luckily there were no accidents so we drove right through onward to San Francisco
The conductor on Amtrak is the same conductor I've heard over the years in different train videos thanks for making your video
Thanks for checking out my vid!
Hello from Spain!
There is a train from Portland to San Francisco?
By the way, how lasts the train from San Francisco to Vegas?
Nice video! Interesting to see train videos from the US!
Thanks for watching my video. Amtrak's train from Portland to San Francisco is the Coast Startlight: www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train. Unfortunately there is no direct train service between Vegas & San Francisco, that's why we got a rental car & drove from Reno to Vegas. The Amtrak California Zephyr train from Chicago to Reno was about 2 days, the drive to Vegas is 7 hours, and then after our stay in Vegas we continued on the California Zephyr to San Francisco which took another day.
The road through Glenwood Canyon is actually I-70. The four-lane interstate was built in the 1990's and is considered an engineering marvel. They built a four-lane interstate through the canyon, while preserving the beauty of the canyon.
Yes, and the most expensive segment of Interstate ever built to that date.
nice video cant find the other video of the east bound one. been on that train before a few times
Still working on it... Thanks for checking out my channel!
Great video! Martinez is my home station and I often film the trains there. You can actually see me in your video standing at the end of the platform filming as you are pulling out of Martinez. You can see the video of your train pulling in and leaving on my channel if you are interested!
Thanks! I'll check it out!
Love your video. Is there an app available where you can track in real time your journey on Amtrak?
asm.transitdocs.com/ tracks all of Amtrak's & VIA's trains in real time & tells you if the train is running late or early. Just click on the appropriate train # on the map to get the aforementioned info. Thanks for checking out my video!
