e Thank you for watching and the kind words, trying to show more of what Amtrak journeys can be like. Especially talking to strangers and learning about them and why they chose to travel :).
In the next year or two you will get to ride the new Amtrak Airo train sets for the cascades. Super exciting stuff. Very similar to the Brightline cars.
Hey man it was great to meet you and chat a bit coming out of SD. Content is great and has a nice personal human touch. Your editing chop is on point too. I'm gonna ask that you get a better mic setup to improve audio volume, clarity, and consistent level. DJI makes a great LAV wireless pair that includes 2 mics on 1 receiver. You could wear one which will improve the audio when you are not talking directly at your camera and the other one you could hand off or sit somewhere when you chat the nice folks you meet. Thanks for sharing and keep it up.
Thank you for this content, very helpful on the experience on Amtrak. Me and my BF decided to take Amtrak for the very first time for our trip to Vancouver BC that’s coming up. We’re excited and just curious on what to expect on our travels😊
I like trains so I was planning to do this route. You did a really good job of covering every aspect. I also loved the video you did on Brightline florida. You have great attitude and joyful personality, keep it up!
This much leg room is not only in business class. I took the train from LA to Santa Barbara back in 2019 and I was so excited about the space. I loved it as well as the comfy seats.
This was an amazing video tutorial! Thank you for being detailed and going i depth through your journey. I am interested in learning and traveling through Amtrak.
Nice video! I'm planning a trip to Vancouver early next year and I think I might fly into Seattle and then take the Amtrak to Vancouver. Best wishes on your journey around the world!
@user-eq5jz7gy7z a lot of people have never traveled solo so that’s already amazing!! At times I wish I had company and other times I use it as an excuse to meet other people and make conversation :)
Yes it rains a lot in fall and winter Davion, but that is what keeps everything clean and green. Summer we get almost guaranteed 2 months of sunny warm days. Enjoyed your video all these months later from beginning to end. Hello from White Rock, British Columbia.
Thanks Davion for a thorough review of the train. We're considering it for our trip. We appreciate you and your kindness to others as you move along in your travels. Have fun!!!
I LOVE those single seats in BusinessClass, but they are such a rarity along the Northeast corridor. I’m actually plotting a trip to try and partake sometime soon.
Whoa! I thought you might have scored a Talgo set on your journey; instead you copped Horizon Cars, although your carriage seemed to be in much better condition than others I've noticed. Hope you got better weather in Vancouver than upon arrival. Cheers from Michael downunder in Melbourne, Australia. 🙂🙂🙂
Davion, you are a ray of sunshine on a rainy day! I absolutely love your videos. Will there be any upcoming video events in Vancouver, B.C.? If so, I can not wait! Thank you for brightening my day!!❤❤📣📣😊👍
I like that you are traveling, a variety of different directions, while also, showing, within U.S. travel, Canada, then overseas....etc...I see from your profile, you reside in Big D. I am very familiar with it.
Oooo I definitely want to take it from Portland someday. I’m about to take the Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto and excited. I’m glad you enjoyed the journey ☺️
Texan here....or actually Californian living in Texas....great video. We are thinking aout traveling to Canada after visiting some fam in Seattle.....and yes take that trip with tha homies. Ha. Lol. Greeting fr Amarillo.
Fellow Texan here! Thanks for this great video! We are planning on doing this next September. I’ve been told to sit on the west side of the train for the better views. Any idea what side you were sitting on on the way to Canada with the single seats?
Hey thank you for watching. I had to fill out a form in the train, saying who I am, where I’m staying and how long. When I went through customs he asked the same questions, took my form and stamped my passport
Thanks for this video. Trying to decide if I want to fly into Canada from Seattle or take this train. I'm thinking I'll fly... the possibility of delays make me nervous as I'll be pressed for time.
This Amtrak train was not really bumpy, fairly smooth. I would say sometimes I forgot we were even moving. I’ve been o. Other trains where it was bumpy, actually I’m on an Amtrak rn in Texas and I almost spilled my drink.
Had a bad experience on this train about a week ago. Multiple delays due to trespassers on the track added up to several extra hours spent on the train. We were lucky to be sitting in the dining car, but other train cars were extremely hot and uncomfortable. Lots of angry passengers
There was a plan to increase pseeds up to 110 mph agreed with the freight company but the agreement expired or something it. Would make the trip much faster 😢
The worst thing about the Seattle station. There is no café or anything. You didn’t miss it there is no lounge there. The station is beautiful but they’re missing your food option but it is what it is.
I think they have a few food options around the station. But they really should add a couple nice food options at the stations especially considering the fact that they are planning a high speed route from Seattle to Vancouver.
I’m sorry I did not give you what you were looking for. The journey focused on showing the station, train seats, and talking to people. The views were good but nothing crazy if that helps.
You ran into so many nice people and had such good energy for such an early morning trip. I’d likely be somewhere dozed off. LOL
I really was blessed, seemed like everyone was in high spirits. :) hah. Thank you for watching and the kind words.
@@DavionWest you give off a great energy as well, it radiates through the screen! 📺
@@BobNewbiethank you 🙏 really means a lot. Trying to push positive energy into the world
@@DavionWest You're doing it! Hope to run into you one day!
Thanks for posting this. Man I greatly enjoy how you include short conversations with people. I have not seen any other travel video UA-camrs do this.
e Thank you for watching and the kind words, trying to show more of what Amtrak journeys can be like. Especially talking to strangers and learning about them and why they chose to travel :).
It's a beautiful journey. Did one from Vancouver, BC to Portland, OR and return few years back. Loved it.
I love this route! Will definitely take it again when they get the new trains.
@@DavionWest I am looking forward to the new trains as well.
Welcome to Canada Davion!
Thank you 😊, I can’t wait to go back again
I’m about to take this journey today. THANK YOU
Have a safe and fun trip :), hopefully the sun is out. Thank you for watching
Seattle's station took a long time to renovate. Looks like the wait was worth it. Thanks for the views.
They did a great job!!! I was really blown away by the detail!
Your video is sooo helpful! New subbie! Truly appreciate someone making this content as we live in Tacoma.
Thank you for the kind words🥰.
I love your enthusiasm and one day I do want to take the Amtrak to the Pacific Northwest It’s beautiful!
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🙏. The Pacific Northwest really is beautiful!!
I love your energy!! Good energy attracts good energy which is why you have such awesome interactions with others. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for the kind words ☺️🙏!
In the next year or two you will get to ride the new Amtrak Airo train sets for the cascades. Super exciting stuff. Very similar to the Brightline cars.
I’m super excited for those, they looks so good. Hopefully they are comfortable. I will try to be on one of the first rides to Vancouver with them.
Great video man, love your energy you give out to others. Editing and vid is straightforward too !
Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it. Just trying to show the world good energy and vibes.

Super cool, I am in Seattle I want to do this. Thanks for sharing
Try it out, you wont regret it. Thanks for watching. Have a safe trip if you choose to do it.
@@DavionWest I’ve traveled solo a little bit but still get some anxiety I’m only 24… how do you do it so seamlessly?

Really appreciate this video, thinking of taking the Seattle-Vancouver train next time I'm over that part of the world :)
Definitely take it!!
Can't wait to check out your other videos 😊
Sorry or the super late reply. But thank you for the support, planning a few more train videos.
Welcome to Canada Davion. I am gonna take the train this month and I looked up your video to get a clue on the experience.
Thank you for the welcome 🙏!! Canada has been very welcoming.
Was that a little German swear in the bathroom-heehee! Thank you for the detailed review of the various aspects of the train!
Haha I went back and watched and yes it was 😅🤣 sometimes it comes iut
Thank you for your videos!! truly inspiring!
Thank you for the kind words, it really means alot. Im glad youre enjoying the videos :)
Thanks Davion for a thorough review of the train. We're considering it for our trip. We appreciate you and your kindness to others as you move along in your travels. Have fun!!!
Thank you for the kind words, and yall should definitely do the trip if yall have time :).
Great video thank you. It has made me want to take this train now. Very personable.
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🙌! You should definitely take it.
I LOVE those single seats in BusinessClass, but they are such a rarity along the Northeast corridor. I’m actually plotting a trip to try and partake sometime soon.
I hope you have a safe trip!! I love the single seats, I always get excited when I see them.
cool video and nice station, greetings from Europe from the Czech Republic.
Thank you for checking out the video. I love Czechia!!! I have to go back and see more of the country.

I wish, but sadly I didn’t get that train :/. But yes the ride was still amazing. The weather got better while I was in Vancouver 🙏
Doing this trip in November. Much love from the UK!
Enjoy you’re trip!! I love the UK 🇬🇧
The breakfast sandwich is awesome.
The XPT train from Melbourne to Sydney will make you cry into your mircowaved instant coffee and shake your spine from your soul
Wait in a good way or bad way 😳😅
Davion, you are a ray of sunshine on a rainy day! I absolutely love your videos. Will there be any upcoming video events in Vancouver, B.C.? If so, I can not wait! Thank you for brightening my day!!❤❤📣📣😊👍
Thank you :). I just spent time with some friends so I didnt make a video. I plan on making a video about Vancouver during the warmer months someday.
I like that you are traveling, a variety of different directions, while also, showing, within U.S. travel, Canada, then overseas....etc...I see from your profile, you reside in Big D. I am very familiar with it.
Friendly man. I love to see it in Seattle.
The energy from everyone I spoke to was amazing.
I took the Cascades from Portland Oregon to Vancouver BC this year. Such a great ride.
Oooo I definitely want to take it from Portland someday. I’m about to take the Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto and excited. I’m glad you enjoyed the journey ☺️
11:06 I laughed so hard was there no better b roll footage you could have used for that sentence?
I love your video~
Thank you for the kind words ☺️
I'd love to see you in Canada more! You should try Amtrak's Maple Leaf (Toronto to NY) or Via Rail's The Canadian across Canada. :)
Me too! And I filmed that route :)!
I rode from Mt.Vernon, Wa.,to Portland. Nice train trip.
Thank you for the kind words, how was your trip? I have to make a stop in Portland someday.
Texan here....or actually Californian living in Texas....great video. We are thinking aout traveling to Canada after visiting some fam in Seattle.....and yes take that trip with tha homies. Ha. Lol. Greeting fr Amarillo.
Oh your family will defiantly love it!! Especially Vancouver during the summer time! Ims till trying to get my squad to take a train trip with me.
Fellow Texan here! Thanks for this great video! We are planning on doing this next September. I’ve been told to sit on the west side of the train for the better views. Any idea what side you were sitting on on the way to Canada with the single seats?
Hey 👋! Oh yall will enjoy the train ride 🙌! And and yes I was sitting on the left side of the train (west)
@@DavionWestthank you!
This looks like the Talgo trainset? We took the cascades last week but the Horizon cars. Somewhat comfy seats but really tired washrooms and cafe car
Sadly I didn’t get the Talgo set :(. I thought I was gonna get them. And yes I agree with you.
What was customs like? I'm taking the same train to Vancouver at the end of March.
Hey thank you for watching. I had to fill out a form in the train, saying who I am, where I’m staying and how long. When I went through customs he asked the same questions, took my form and stamped my passport
@@DavionWest Thank you!
Portland union station is also gorgeous
Yes!!!! I was briefly in it for another video I made. I was traveling from San Diego to Seattle and we stopped in it.
Thanks for this video. Trying to decide if I want to fly into Canada from Seattle or take this train. I'm thinking I'll fly... the possibility of delays make me nervous as I'll be pressed for time.
Thank you for the kind words. If you’re pressed for time, I wouldn’t take the train for this trip. You can always take it when you have more time.
i was waiting for you to show the coach seats to see if its worth the upgrade thanks though
Sorry, the trip went fast and I forgot to cover it.
Is the train bumpy or smooth? How would you compare it to car travel?
My pregnant friend is going to travel in 3rd trimester
This Amtrak train was not really bumpy, fairly smooth. I would say sometimes I forgot we were even moving. I’ve been o. Other trains where it was bumpy, actually I’m on an Amtrak rn in Texas and I almost spilled my drink.
Had a bad experience on this train about a week ago. Multiple delays due to trespassers on the track added up to several extra hours spent on the train. We were lucky to be sitting in the dining car, but other train cars were extremely hot and uncomfortable. Lots of angry passengers
I’m so sorry to hear about that :( hopefully they will find a better way to maintain security in the track!
There was a plan to increase pseeds up to 110 mph agreed with the freight company but the agreement expired or something it. Would make the trip much faster 😢
:( hopefully they increase the speed
@@DavionWest great channel man keep it up
How much did it cost?
$44 for coach and $111 for business. Not really a difference between them.
👍
Clair Crossing
The only thing wrong with this train is that there is less of it.
Big facts!!! Hopefully we will see more of this
The worst thing about the Seattle station. There is no café or anything.
You didn’t miss it there is no lounge there. The station is beautiful but they’re missing your food option but it is what it is.
Damn, if they had a cafe that match the vibe of the station it would add more energy into the station.
I think they have a few food options around the station. But they really should add a couple nice food options at the stations especially considering the fact that they are planning a high speed route from Seattle to Vancouver.
Gleichner Villages
You're gonna need to work through some of those 59k yahoo emails
haha at this point thats a scary task.
Naw.....they have german food on a amtrak train.....come on now bro really 😅
Sigh, I wanted to know if the views are good on this trip.
11min 42 seconds of my life wasted.
I’m sorry I did not give you what you were looking for. The journey focused on showing the station, train seats, and talking to people. The views were good but nothing crazy if that helps.
