Tomorrow, we're taking a ride on Amtrak's Crescent from New York to New Orleans! I can't wait to share the experience with y'all, and I'll see everyone at 10:00am CST!
It is decided! A bonus video featuring the Tokaido Shinkansen will be coming Wednesday! With over 500 votes, and a 90% vote for, it's clear that y'all would like to see some high speed shinkansen action. And who knows, depending on how this bonus video does, I might upload a couple more like it...
Howdy y'all! I have officially returned from my travels in Asia! Over the past two weeks, I filmed countless videos throughout Korea and Japan, and I cannot wait to share each travel experience with y'all. Moving forward, the channel should be back to a normal weekly upload schedule, starting with an upload next week on the 15th. Also, as a thank you for everyone's patience while I finished out my undergraduate degree and then went out on a massive vacation, I am considering uploading a Bonus video featuring Shinkansen Flybys! It won't be anything special, just some high speed trains on either the Tohoku or Tokaido shinkansen. This would go live likely on Wednesday, and would be in addition to the regularly scheduled video on Saturday. Let me know if that's something y'all would want to see!
Hey everyone! Just wanted to say there will be no videos for the next couple weeks! I’m out traveling in Japan right now, and don’t have the time to edit until I get back. But I assure you there will be TONS of amazing videos coming from both Korea and Japan! See yall in a couple weeks!
Good news! I have officially secured a room on Japan's Sunrise Seto! The Sunrise Express services are a pair of Japan's last regularly scheduled sleeper trains, with nightly service between Takamatsu or Izumoshi and Tokyo. I can't wait to share the experience with y'all!
With over 80% of the vote, the CZ video from Chicago to Denver is the clear winner! Now, I know it's not the pretty part, but I assure you, I have plans to cover the rest of the route this summer. Oh, and see below for a little hint of one of the ways we'll see that route😉
Quick Question: Would y'all be interested in seeing a video on the California Zephyr from Chicago to Denver? The video going live on May 11th will be a sleeper train, however, I'm not sure which to pick. I know it's not the full route, but it would still be a long distance train video, which would focus more on Amtrak's recently revitalized sleeper cars. Plus it would tee up the second half of the route, which I plan on taking this summer. If it's not the CZ, it'll either be the City of New Orleans or The Crescent (Of which I'm leaning more towards the CoNo). Either or, let me know through the poll!
We're FINALLY back for another video this week! This week we'll be taking a look at SMART, the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit line as we take a round trip through Marin County. Also, I'll be sticking with the Bi-Weekly upload schedule for the next month and a bit, aiming for uploads on May 11th and 25th. If all goes well (which it should), the channel will return to a weekly upload schedule on June 8th. I have a TON of incredible travel planned for this summer, and I cannot wait to start sharing these adventures with y'all! Anyway, I'll see y'all on Saturday!
Howdy y'all, just a quick update: There will be NO VIDEO this weekend. I know I said I would be moving to a bi-weekly upload schedule, but the stars have aligned such that I have next to no time to do production this week, and thus need to push back another week. I should be back on a weekly schedule starting in mid-may, or at the very latest early June once I get back from Asia. Sorry for the inconvenience, and I'll see y'all next week.
We're back for another video this week! On Saturday we're taking Amtrak's Silver Star down to Miami!
