At 11:53 you see such a nice reunion of two people. One of them running out of the platform with her bags to give their loved one a hug. So sweet

Truly an exception to the rule that your sleeping car attendant was useless. Iāve been a sleeper on several Amtrak trains and the attendant has always been wonderful. So sorry you didnāt receive their usual service

Thanks for the great trip video. It reminded me of the trip I made on the Milwaukee Road round trip from Chicago to Seattle in 1953. I road coach and bought only 1 meal on the 3 day 2 night trip.

This is right at the top of my favorite Amtrak journeys, and the video was great. Wouldnāt mind doing it again.

Being a lifetime subscriber to Trains magazine, often times the Builder is described as the most popular AMTRAK passenger train in the country. It doesn't get much publicity like the other passenger trains, but the numerous people I have talked to about their experience traveling on the Builder have been very positive in their experience!

14:30: It's called "french toast" because while the recipe (known as "pain perdu" or "lost bread") has been around for hundreds of years even possibly going back to the Romans, an innkeeper in Albany NY by the name Joseph French is largely credited with introducing it to Americans. Hence "French('s) toast".

Great video! At 9:53 the third engine in the passing consist is the Norfolk southern Central New Jersey heritage unit. Catching that on the opposite side of the country of where it usually would be is super awesome!!

Love the captions. No like the talky talk talk talk of other travelogues. This was nice.

Heading east on the Empire Builder (in a roomette) about 8 years ago, my sister had the unfortunate experienced of a very unhelpful and rude cabin attendant, crabby conductor, and poor food service on her Empire Builder leg east. When she returned to the Pacific NW a couple of weeks later, it was completely different; helpful and pleasant throughout the trip. On that train, some guys asked to join her in the dining car; they were Amtrak Customer Service and took notes as they asked how she was enjoying the train. Of course she was loving her ride west, but she didnāt mince words to them about her eastbound experience.

The Dells are so much funā¦.we have camped at Rocky Arbor Campground and driven into the Dells for go-carts, mini-golf, water parks and of course checking out various restaurants.

Oh man the new ALC-42s look so GOOD! I can't wait to see more of them on the network

Nothing like the old days of the Milwaukee Road's Hiawatha. The greatest were the long-distance Santa Fe trains. e.g., the El Capitan

Of the three different people who have made videos of train travel in the U.S., this one by 'Simply Rilway' has had much more footage of Glacier National Park and the areas below it! This has done two things for me, first, it showed why I use the term ""AWESOME"" to describe Glacier. Second, it has brought back pleasant memories of my visit to Glacier! Thanks much, Simply Railway!!! JMS

LET'S GOOOOOOO EMPIRE BUILDER!! I've been waiting for this one in a long time

27:01 Is probably one of my favorite moment, it shows that, even though our network is lackluster in most ways with exceptions to the NorthEast Corridor, our longdistnce and mid-distance trains are still beautiful. And holy crap when they have a chance they can move quite fast

I first took the Empire Builder from Central Washington to Minneapolis in 1971. That started a life-long love of trains and train travel. Later, we'd ride the EB out and back to Glacier Park for summer backcountry trips, hiking across the park from station to station.

Simply Railway is my favorite train vlog. Who'd have thought some French guy could come here and do such good job? Vive la France!Actually he does a good job all over the world.

Hello from the greater Sacramento area of California!
That ALC-42 was assembled at the Siemens Mobility plant right here in Sacramento! In fact, all the SC-44 Chargers on various US commuter railroads, Amtrak-operated state routes, the SC-42s that power the the trainsets, as well as the trainsets themselves for VIA Canada, as well as the SCB-40s and their trainsets for Brightline are all built in the same plant!

The Amtrak Empire Builder definitely reminds me of the Sunrise Express sleeper trains in Japan, which also have two termini and splits off at Okayama.

We may not have the best network in the world, but the US has some of the best long distance train routes in the world āļø
