Yeah I completely understand unfortunately I didn't want to film a lot of the inside simply because there were another 20 other people in the car who I didn't want to make uncomfortable with a camera. As for the cost, it was 349 per person for Hickory Creek at the time of recording however now I believe it's gone up to 399. Thanks for watching!
You are a saint, I'm not sure I could have watched those kids act like that without saying something to their parents! I remember I was on a dinner train when our kids were like 5 and 8 and the waiter was very complimentary about how our children behaved. I thought that odd, I mean we were on a $25/plate dinner train (back then that was the most I'd ever spent on a meal in my life), why wouldn't they be well-behaved? As the dinner progressed I saw what he was talking about. The people sitting down the dining car from us were sitting at a separate table from their children, and their children were not behaving well... why would they? Their parents were at another table from them?? :-). We are very happy to report that our children's children are also very well-behaved, or maybe they know Grandma and Grandpa won't be taking them anywhere if they aren't well-behaved.
You never mentioned the most beautiful and meticulously restored station on the run since GCT is no longer on the route - Yonkers station by the same architects that designed the terminal. Kind of makes Hudson look like a barn by comparison. 🤠
I think the Moynihan station is not a recreation of the old Penn Station but it certainly is better by far than what we have had recently. NYC is far far nicer than it was in the 70's and 80's.
@@TheCesspool_I will agree with you in most points. That back in the day stuff was more civilized. A lot of stuff was definitely a lot more Primitive and or worse than it is now. But if you look at it from a different perspective and what was the norm in the day it was generally a lot better Yeah there was asbestos in everything and also radiation and A good amount of inequality etc but still back in the day america was an honest country. A place of many opportunities full of hard-working honest men I bet you a 50 that If everything. Went as planned america would have been One of the best countries in the world with one of the best and most luxurious rail system The country of many opportunities it once was...
We have lost so much of the class and decency of the past. Obviously, there were the horrors of racism, but we could have class and decency without prejudice and racism. We do expect so little of ourselves.
Many people share this sentiment. Yet very few seem to actually have an answer on why things changed so much for the worse. If we want the good aspects of the recent past to return we have to ask the real questions and not be afraid to push the overton window. Great video!
Interesting (would have been better w/o the music). As pleasant as your train experience was, you can't really replicate the past. The passengers would have been dressed very differently: men in suits; women in dresses. And there, unfortunately, would have been a lot of smoking! Staff would have been different too -- no waitresses, for one. The menu? Was it the same that was served in the 1940s? Tastes have changed, so probably not. You are right that standards of behavior have dropped. There really are NO standards. People look and act like brutes. About Moynihan: I think the hall is actually beautiful, as close to the old station as is possible. It does lack a focal point, however. There is no central indicator displaying train arrivals/departures. You enter the Hall and have no idea if your train is on time or what track it will be on. And there is the limited public seating which is hidden away to one side (obviously to discourage the homeless).

Would have liked to see MUCH MORE of the interior of the car. Did you mention cost??

Yeah that's true, one of the reasons I left it out was because of the lack of footage I could get from the train of the building.
Nice video. People these days are reluctant to discipline their children in public as there are so many busybodies out there, they are helpless.
it´s sad the full consist is now gone

Absolutely agreed
