Riding on an Amtrak Train from FL to NYC

- This is a video to show families why they should try the train and even a long trip can be fun for us all. It was an adventure and a fun way to travel. We are doing an entire blog on Amtrack Travel and we hope you try it out with your family.
Train is a great way to travel. More carry-on luggage, more personal room, easier to walk on, more relaxing, more enjoyable. Bus and plane you're crammed in and it's like your entering the CIA
I don't enjoy being on an airplane, mainly for 2 reasons (takeoff/landing). While I'm happier to land, I'm more anxious to take off. Having said that, it's the entire experience at the airport that actually makes my nerves and anxiety a lot worse. If I could just get on the plane directly, I think I'd reduce my anxiety by a fair margin and have a much more relaxed experience. We can do bullet-speed trains but corporate greed and interests are getting on the way.
Amtrak is great.
I don't care about breakdowns or delays
they never charged me extra for being on the train
longer.Nobody can beat Amtrak.
I rode a train exactly like this a few years ago from Syracuse to NYC and I loved it. Much more comfortable than flying. Will also use it in the future for any long distance trips.
I can't wait for my trip this summer.
Seattle --> San Francisco --> Chicago --> New York --> Washington DC --> Miami --> DC --> New Orleans --> Chicago --> LA --> San Antonio --> Chicago --> Seattle.
All in coach seating.
That sounds awesome. Mind if I come with you?
Haindim wow for me its dc- nyc lol to baltimore to home to school
U should do a roomette on long distance trains or bedroom if your a family
what's a roomette? "you're"
Sooo, any updates? lol
Quite well done! Inside is not claustrophobic at all, from what your footage shows. I was surprised to see how small the dining car is *on this train* (Silver Meteor?). I loved how you extended your foot to help us viewers visualize the size of the different spaces. Within five years, I'm traveling to FL via Amtrak -- will have to wait five years not because Amtrak is expensive, but because even the three-star Miami hotels are. BTW, cute selfie at the finish! :)
This is pure nostalgia for me, when I was little, me and my brother would go to New York to stay with our grandmother for the summer and we would take these 24 hour Amtrak train rides each summer from Alabama to New York with her coming to ny and the train rides there were so peaceful and interesting, seeing the places we would pass by through the window, eating and conversating with each other at the diner, napping and waking up to the new scenery outside the window, I miss these, I’m 19 now and I’m going to be taking an Amtrak train there by myself for college and I can’t wait to relive the nostalgia.
I live in the UK and have never been outside of my country. Thank you so much for this video because it's helped me so much for a story I'm writing. I think I can confidently write about what it's like to be on a train like this now.
We have 2 floor trains that are much bigger than this one with sleeping cars and openglass lounge areas that you can hang out in and watch the scenery. You should check out those vids as well. Our train network sucks compared to the ones you have in the U.K. and EU tho.
Shan Sharkyshark Our train system in the United States definitely sucks, that's why most Americans don't travel. 9 hours to travel from L.A. to NY on a plane, 4 days by train maybe 3 days plus motel stops by car??? No thanks. We need a bullet train.
Great video.... thanks. Haven't been on the train in over 30 years. So much has changed. Taking a bunch of kids who've never been. They'll love it.
Thank you for doing this! I this is exactly what I needed to decide which seating option I wanted to purchase. Thanks again!
I went on my first long distance train from Ft.Lauderdale to Northern Virginia, I was very surprised on how friendly the staff was. I had the sleeper which was well worth it especially to take a hot shower in the morning. The food was good in the dining car. If I have the time it will be a train not a plane.
Thank you for making this video. This is not what I imagined a train ride would be like.
I've been traveling on the train once a year across country nearly 50 years and love it and no matter if on time or delays but it was so much fun to social with people and awesome view too.
This seems to be so much better than flying. All the time you hear on the news about people fighting over seats on planes or getting kicked off for a variety of reasons. You almost NEVER hear about these things happening on Amtrak
Thanks for this video! I booked a round trip ticket from Boston to Chicago next month, riding coach on the way over and a sleeper for the way back. I really appreciate you showing us the inside of the train. I makes me more comfortable, knowing what it looks like ahead of time! Thanks again.
I was debating on whether to take a plane or a train to Florida for a trip, and your video just helped me to make the decision to take a train. Your video was very helpful thank you.
sydney sutton train is the best
@@galaxynote7425 Agreed. The mere fact that you don't have to deal with airport chaos is enough of an advantage for me. But then couple that with the extreme comfort of a train versus cramped hard seats in a plane, and I'm sold. I just wish there was a more direct route from Florida to Atlanta. Currently, it's a 30+hr ride that has one go to the Carolinas and then back down to ATL.
How much is the train ?
@@sofiaaa5599 212 one way for a coach ticket.
@@sofiaaa5599 A trip to NJ from NC, about a 13 hr.car ride, if bought a few days in advance can be as low as $105., but the day before you leave, it raised up to $180, I think I will pay the extra $120 for a small private room.
I know this is old, but thank you! I am going on my first train trip next week and this gets me that much more excited! ;)
great video,, SO glad you posted Eases my mind in knowing how it it now ..Haven;t ridden since 1972............
WOW! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm going to Atlanta GA from Philly next month on Amtrak. It looks far more comfortable than I imagined. Very accommodating. I think I'm going to enjoy.
Excellent. Very informative. Thanks for showing menu and for showing the bathrooms.
On my way to Miami from NYC.. Was a bit nervous about the experience but you've made it a lot easier and I appreciate your help.
This is the best review of the Amtrak experience I've seen to date.
Thanks for the tour of train. It was very helpful and your kids are great actors. hope your trip was good.
Great video! I am a huge Amtrak enthusiast and am glad to see other people who enjoy rail travel. Well done!
I might go to a Amtrak train this summer.I asked my dad if I could go on a Amtrak train this summer since I NEVER been in a Amtrak train.My dad said "Only if I have enough money,I will take you to an Amtrak train from NY to Boston." I can't wait to go!
Thank you so much! I hate planes but was hesitant to try a train. Your video really put my mind at ease and now I know that I am definitely taking a train when I have to travel next May!
I did this This in 2013 and loved it.you just have to keep yourself busy and buy a few snacks and you will be ok
GREAT VIDEO!!! You have answered more questions in your video then ALL of Amtraks videos.
Cant wait to go on this train! Took the Zephr with my family from Chicago to Sanfransisco it was GREAT we booked a 3bedrooms (6 people) very comfortable the views were great smooth ride GREAT nights sleep... better than flying well worth the extra length planes take too long and trains go too fast! LOVE EM!
I like how you show the detail and talk us through as your walking around, thanks.
The train is really nice here. I've tken it from Birmingham to Washington D.C several times and I love it because you are not in a hurry. It amazes me however that a lot of people here in Birmingham don't realize that AmTrak come thru here and goes all the way to New York City......
Nice clean washrooms with good, reasonably priced food.
Train travel, amazingly, just dawned on me. Two places from Atlanta I would go is New York, and Miami. The cost for my family of four is a quarter of the airline rates. Obviously not near the headaches of dealing with airlines/airports, can check more baggage, and the adventure is more than the trade off of longer travel times. Plus I absolutely LOVE trains.
Truly appreciate this video!
Good to see you guys promoting rail travel the other side of the pond. Greetings from London.. PS I am subscribing
Super helpful as I was considering the train - thanks!
Never been on an AMTRAK train, but will be in October 2016
Thank you for posting, hope you had a great vacation.
great video. Was thinking about flying down to FL and taking the train back. I think this video has convinced me it's a good move without having to get the room and pay extra. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the video, very detailed and it gives a realistic picture to whoever wants to ride the AMTRAK train, i hope its the same one departs from chicago to texas, thats my trip soon and they didnt let me get on the train for a view .
Nice looks like itd be fun to ride on a train. I like how u showd the bathroom n the dinning car n the other car with food. With the chips n pop n the seats looksnice n comfy might have to look into taking a train rather then flying. Thanks again n good vid btw.
WOW American familys how ridings with the train and not with the car or the plane😮 that is rare!!!
I live in the middle of Upstate New York and I took the 200 mile journey down to NYC a few times, and once to Buffalo. I couldn't imagine being on that thing longer than only a few hours lol. I would go nuts.
I always preferred to take a train over flying. not just because I'm a train fanatic and its more comfortable, but because I want to see the country, not fly over it.
Thanks for sharing this video! It helped me a lot to make a decision.
I'm planning to take this train from NY to FL next year....great video that train looks awesome.... thanks for sharing, greetings ;)
This video convince me to take the train on coach class. It was a great experience for me and my daughter. Thanks for the detail information.
Thank you so much. every year for the past 10 years I taken the bus to Florida..but my legs may not be able to take that ride this time. I am going to consider taking the train.
Be warned, I dont know about the bus prices. From Miami to New York, a coach seat (Like the lady was sitting at in the video) cost $141.00 per Passenger. Bedrooms can run you up to $368.00 (EACH WAY). If you plan to ride with Amtrak soon id highly advice booking roughly 5-6 weeks in advanced for the best deal. If you have any questions Id love to help :)
VERY HELPFUL VIDEO, THANKS!
Thank you for this amazing video. I have never been on a train like this and I am looking forward to taking my first trip on one. I appreciate the inside view and the tour of everything that you took us on because now I can understand what it is like to be on a train which, kind of reminds me of being on an airplane. Although I do have to admit that yes, that bathroom did look much more roomy than on an airplane, so that's awesome!
Take a VERY GOOD long hard look at the Amtrak website. You can find out which trains you'll have to take between one city and another. You can find out out much a ticket costs from any city to any other city (whether you take a one city to one city trip or a multi city to multi city trip).
Some trips are available at certain times of the year where you can do a 600-900 mile round trip for less than $150 (if you travel to a specific city and back on a specific train).
Great! I dont think my family would sleep it'll be the first time we travel this way, I just love the idea & how fun its going to be. Thank you, very helpful.
thank you for this video it calmed my anxiety a bit because I am traveling by train for the first time and I got to see kind of what is like
Excellent informative video! I am taking my first ride on Amtrak from Orlando to South Bend, Indiana to see my father next Tuesday. Your video really helped me get a feel for what it's going to be like! Thanks for sharing...and GO PATS!! 😎🌴👍
"This is another toilet. Much as big. Easily accessible as well. Look, again, this is my foot." -yourselfexpression 2011

Very helpful video!!! Riding from nc to fl have never been on a train...... Thank you
I'm taking a train this weekend without parents and freaked out
lol you look to be about 15 or 16. i took an Airplane ALONE for the FIRST TIME from NY to Texas when i was 5 so.
United We Stand Divided We Fall everyone is different
Ahh, don't worry. Amtrak is perfectly safe. I've ridden it by myself before when I was 11 or so. It was a nice journey.

Oct 13th 2018 i rode amtrak last month sept from slc ut to truckee calif for a week it was very joyable ride i love sitting at tables with windows on both sides of train car i played solitarie enjoy it it alot
Nice job Mom. I felt like I was there and really experienced leaving the depot.
Going for a train trip back home to NYC. I'm doing it for fun. Could have taken a plane but I wanted to give this a try.
I ride Amtrak seven or so times this is great for people to see how much room and how easy to move around
Thank you for doing this!!
thank you so much for the video...Amtrak should pay you for this, the way you gave a tour of the train or get free ride for your family every time you go on it...thanks for sharing...
Thank you for sharing. I will be traveling for the first time from Montreal to New york soon. And it's a 11 hours trip. I'm a bit "scared" never took a train so i'm glad theres video like this on here. : )
your hot
im also from montreal, but i want to go to houston texas, how was your trip by train?
Riding the train for the first time tomorrow. This video was a lot of help thanks :)
Thankyou for sharing. I will be going to Orlando via Amtrak train 91 tuesday. I have never been on a passenger train before. I was praying that bit was notv gonna be as cramped as a plane cabin. Its a long trip to be cramped. Thankyou!!
bitch.
Pvpeeps Ssaannn
carrie snelgrove Im soo sorry, that was my brother on my account. Im sure you are a wonderful woman. :)
XD yeah... he does that
You did a great job ...you must be a reporter or someone who works in that field ..very nice talker
Going from Chicago to New York City in September. This video was very helpful.
Yes I do love American Track as well as American Online (great description)
This was very informative! Getting ready to take my first trip on Amtrak and had no idea what to expect. Thanks for the info!
Me too
Thank you for posting
I have flown in tight quarters on flights...hated it. I rode a Greyhound bus from NY to Orlando in even tighter quarters...hated that even more. I took AMTRAK several times. Plenty of leg room, outlets for devices, dining car, bar car. Even had a cool conductor who allowed us to stand between cars to smoke, only while in transit.
Great tour, thanks!
Very well done and very detailed! You were traveling in an Amfleet II coach which are designed for long distance travel. The Amfleet I's which are used on Northeast Regionals are very similar looking but have smaller windows, vestibules on both ends, more seats per car and no leg/foot rests. I'm actually planning on traveling NY-Chicago on the Lake Shore Limited and now I feel better about being in a coach seat for all that time ;-)
Thank you for this video. I have never been on Amtrak or any train. I'll defiantly try this! :)
I went on Amtrak Back In 2000 when I lived in California I went with my special ED Class to San Francisco. I moved to Florida in 2003
Take a chance of to ride in Amtrak, when I traveled in USA, the fist trip was New York to Philadelphia, and second: new York to Chicago.
Rode The amtrak like 19 times very fun and comfortable :3
Xeno Gaming did they id you ?
Thank you for that video tour. I've never been on a train so I was wondering what it was like.
Awesome video! Omg in traveling from nyc to nc an I was wondering about how much leg space I'll have an what the trains look like inside, an this video totally put my mind at ease so thanks a bunch. Great tour of the train. Thank you!!!😄
- u
brah ket lol ok.
Thanks for this video! Exactly what kind of information I was looking for!
Nice travel log. Thank you for sharing.
Well that was a fun video.. I love tour videos, I'll never ride one but it's neat to see what they look like inside. Thanks for sharing.. also, you have a beautiful family and you are very pretty, too! Have a good day =)
Thanks for your video. Next week I'm taking an Auto Train from Washington DC to Orlando FL.
Amtrak should have that service expanded to at least couple more routes. I would love to take Zephyr from Chicago to Salt Lake City and have my car with me , that would be awesome !
Omg I would love to travel on that train.
>thebagholder< I loved your video as it reminds me of taking the train from NC to Washington, DC as a child. It was always so exciting. This is the Silverstar 91, I believe, since you left NYC for FL, and my husband and I are taking this to Fl in April. This trip is one of the adventures on our "list of things to do when we retire". We're going to Disneyworld! Thanks for helping to build our excitement.
very nice I been on a train was cool seeing eveyr ting again
When I rode on Amtrak, I hung out with the conductors in the cafe car and they loved me! I stayed with them the entire time I was on the train!
+Jack Nierenberg probably looking for any excuse to get away from that annoying kid
Thank you for posting this I always questioned how it was on a train. Thank you
Thank you for posting. I'm traveling to ATL from Philly. This will be my first time on Amtrak.
I've done NC to NY and ATL the NJ and never saw a dinning car. Ha, I feel cheated!!..lol Seriously though, I love the train, but after five hours, I find the seats become concrete slabs! I'm going to try a sleeper next time! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks that great to see
..that was really helpful, and actually kinda awesome.
Thank you ....this was great.
Nice Video. I like the bi-level amfleet-2 cars. The coach class is spacious and comfortable for overnight travel and can still carry around 100 passengers. I wish Indian Railways would also introduce such cars.
Cool I'm coming from varginia going home to NYC on this train by myself
I took the train from Orlando Florida to Seattle Washington for 5 days in 1959.. the sleeping quarters were called Births
Thank You, very informative.
Thank you for the info, I'm riding from Newport News, Virginia, to Chicago, Illinois in October by myself. I've flown before so I hope this will be better.
This video helped soo much! thanks
It was the most accurate and clear video I've ever seen!!Thanks :))
