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.❤️🙏
Your travel videos are so comforting to me.
I envy you for your trips!
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.
Thank you Kuga for taking us along with you on 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 💜😀💜
Arigato Kuga - San 🙏🏻 very pleasure to watch your journey with amtrak.
Thank you Kuga!!! Thank you for sometimes showing your handsome face!!! You are my favorite traveler on UA-cam because of that. 😊
Thank you. It is difficult for me to travel as I am elderly. Your journey gave me much hope and happiness. Thank you!
This was a wonderful trip thank you for taking me with you 😄
I love the “beatboxing door” comment 😉
Thank you very much for the opportunity to travel! Beautiful nature in the USA! Greetings from Russia
Kuga-san, love your gentle, thoughtful and well-filmed documentaries. Origato -- so much! PS: We love your "gratitude" for all meals and travels.
There are a lot of Amtrak trip reviews, but I really enjoyed yours. You covered the important points, and provided great commentary and video. Thanks!
I always enjoy traveling with you, Kuga! Thanks
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.😀
Great video. Glad you enjoyed your visit. And being from Chicago, glad you liked the pizza.
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 .
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.
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 🤞🏻
Amtrak is like two different companies depending on where you board. Hey, Amtrak, what’s going on? Great video!
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.)
Kuga, is this a re-mix ? I feel like I have seen most of it before. Still fun though, thanks !
Hi, I came across your channel while strolling through my train travel youtubers, and I found you and decided to watch. Thank you for sharing your journey. I am now one of your subscribers.
To alleviate that beat box door, just shut one or two washcloths in the door and it will stop.

You wouldn't be the first to use that trick .. we did in 1976. Bushyboy Oz
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)! 🙏🙏🙏
Loved this second take on your Amtrak trek. I have driven that route a couple of times, but never took the train. Looked pretty good! I will always chide you for not stopping in Boulder for another Camp 7 shirt! though there's nothing wrong with the one you've got. Did you ever muffle the banging door? Arigato Kuga san!✌🤟💙💙💙
Yeah I was afraid to see the price. :( Well at least you won't have to do it again LOL
excellent, and expertly editied, long form video version of your US trip!
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, well filmed and edited. Sorry our windows weren't clean for you! 🐻☕
Enjoyed every bit of the trip.
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 Kuga ~
This trip was amazing❤🎉
Thanks!
Thank you!🤝
Amazing video, thank you!
Thanks as always for the great vid! I' glad you enjoyed our country 😎😉🕶🐱
Arigato gozimus Kugasan. Always enjoy your travels. 🙏😁
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.
Thanks for sharing...this Amtrack cross country trip is in my bucket list 😅
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!!!!
Love your sense of humor, you make the trip very interesting
Wow what a journey, thank you for sharing it. Xx
Great video..ty for posting and sharing your journey with us
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
What a wonderful adventure - thank you, Kuga!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful train ride looking forward for your next wonderful train ride have a safe flight back home to Japan ❤
The California Zepher is awesome
Congratulations Kuga, for that breathtakingly beautiful 5 day train journey across the US
"Honeymoon" 🤣Your captions never disappoint
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.
Thank you very much!
Wonderful ! 🌟
Thank You🎉 Good Morning 😊 0:24
I so enjoyed your video and rail experience. Love your humor. I wish I had met you on my transcontinental trip last month.😩
On the one hand I am always happy for a new video from you. On the other hand I am mortified you are riding our barely there rail system.
Loved the video! Keep em coming
I loved watching this! I did SF to DC a few years back and it was fabulous!
"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
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.
列車的旅遊方式真是多彩多姿..雙人房更是不錯😊
You're commenting on the sweetness of the desserts in America. Question: have you ever been to Brazil? You'll taste SWEET!🤣
Those landscapes are epic
とても 楽しいかったっです。バングラデシュのが ほしいです。よろしくお願いいたします。
Thank you. You did one of the journeys would love to do
I Love your vídeos!❤ I Travell with you!!
I used to live a few minutes south of Emeryville in Hayward. I hope you explored more of the bay area when you were visiting.
Utah has some Far Out landscapes 😀 I think you agree 😀
Çok güzel , teşekkürler
Why am I having a deja vu while watching this video? Have I seen something similar on other channels or this video is a compilation of a few others?
I’m so glad that you mentioned this, I was thinking the same thing
your videos are cool and makes me sad that I don't have the money to do this sort of thing all the time like you do
Yay!
Get better soon Sara and Luca best of luck for yr results. So sorry you were all so sick. That sometimes happens when you take a break from a stressful life. Hope you are all back to full health soon and enjoying life again. Love from Australia ❤❤❤
Hold on, didn't he already upload this one?
yes. i thought the same thing.
I knew I wasn't crazy! That rattling door bit had me deja-vuing. Thought I might be confusing it with a Solo Solo Travel upload
@jongonard8087 it clicked with me when I seen him order the food, I thought 'I've seen this before'
He did but i could watch it again =)
kuga-sensei please visit also trains in swiss because its beautiful out there. Thanks!
What an amazing journey, thank you for sharing, a great video
Boa viagem de trem amtrak
Food looks pretty terrible and the train seems to sway and move alot, but the bed looks fantastic and the views are stunning in many cases. I would like to try this route myself!
27:10 That's a familiar sight only i was waking up in the bunk bed of a big rig crossing America.
What a great travel experience. I love Amtrak. Thanks for taking us along
I've always wanted to do an Amtrack Cross Country trip. But it's expensive!
6:21-The newer Viewliners now being built and coming into service no longer haver the toilet and shower in the roomette, thank goodness.
21:42 Not much leg room. Did you have any trouble with the time difference? Have you ever tried carrot cake? It's so good. The scenery is beautiful going through the rockies.
Japan trains are no 1 in the world
Really shocking at the quality you get for such a high price. Flying is the way to go.
Chicago lounge breakfast doesn't look too bad. Very American, especially considering none of it is fresh and/ or freshly made. Sometimes I'll see a fruit on a breakfast bar here and I'm like "... should I risk it?"
👍👍
Welcome to the American version of the Sunrise Express, quote on quote more like Sunset Express. Chicago is the American variant of the ラノチンチ持ち
Kuga, I apologize that we do not have a nice train system in America. Amtrak is embarrassing.
❤
Everything looks so run down on the train to Chicago. And that’s not an inexpensive ticket. I might try it once just to have the experience, but 8 minutes into the video, I’m underwhelmed. 35 minutes farther into the video, I must say I’m glad I watched. It was fun to be able to get out to explore the different cities. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
Second train looked so much comfier. Less noisy, too!
I would advise our American cousins to have a look at any of the Australian Indian-Pacific and Ghan videos here on YT.
I'm sure you will see some differences. 👋🇦🇺
I would love to travel the Ghan, Great Southern or Indian Pacific but prefer the $888 price on Amtrak from Chicago to San Francisco.
@scottbrettschneider9782 Well that's the thing, nowadays. The Ghan and Indian-Pacific are run as Premium services.
They stopped the single seats in the 90s, I think.
Still, before I shuffle off this mortal-coil. I want to ride both.
another good video, thanks. Amtrak prices are out of whack.
😮
Am I the only one who sees that this video is a repetition from a previous video about 5 months ago?
Kuga San, what went wrong?
Compared to trains say Japan our trains look so old and dreary
Honestly Kuga, our trains look like crap compared to ANY Japanese train! 🚅
Cannot imagine how *boring* that would be 3 days on the Indian Pacific is bad enough
America is years behind when it comes to train transport, there are third world countries where things are going better. for me, Japan is the best country to travel by train.
They need to wash the windows
Amtrak's biggest problem, I think, is that its rolling stock is so heavily regulated, that it's effectively custom.
I think I read somewhere that there were once some old Berlin U-Bahn cars that got sold to the Pyongyang Metro. Amtrak can't do that. Even if secondhand rolling stock was good enough for revenue service in, say, Japan, Britain, Germany, take your pick, it can't run on Amtrak...and vice versa.
Congress chucking money at the problem, by itself, won't fix it. Amtrak needs to be given leave to, of all things, make its equipment interoperable with other rail systems, so it's not stuck with a one-of-a-kind fleet that it has no choice but to drive until it croaks.
