Bob is the best! ❤️
I have a question what do you do when you get to San Francisco do you have to run a hotel room what do you do and is this train around trip like how much wood I need or should I take with me if I was to take this trip
I never knew Tom Hiddleston (Loki) would take the train. Well, what'ya know!
I live in colorado
I feel like traveling with vloggers would be annoying but I appreciate the videos that come out of it. Thanks.
This is probably my favorite video on YouTube. I turn 30 this year and have been planning a cross country trip. Watching your videos just makes me even more excited than I already am. Watching all the friends you’ve made on the train and seeing how great the energy is between you and will is just so cool and lighthearted. Thank you for uploading. You’ve got a new subscriber in Cleveland ohio❤️

Liked the video so much we booked our trip for this August. Flying from Boston to Seattle. Taking the train from Seattle to Sacramento, spending two days then going from Sacramento to Chicago again spending two days before fling back to Boston. We are spending the extra days just in case the trains are delayed. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
thank you for bringing me so much light! 😻
Cannabis laws on said trains? America explain (please)
The white dude seems like he would be the bottom, drum and cymbal do do crash.
I’m happy to announce I’ll be making my 2nd trip to St. Louis 😊 Ims exited y’all 🚆
really great video.
I took an amtrak to emeryville 2 months and i brought my 2 ho scale Amtrak P42DCs and a sole ho scale superliner
The Empire Builder to Washington, then on to LA by train, is scenic 10 levels above the California Zephyr. Thanks for the videos, awesome.
you said 82 not 52 1 month ago I went on Amtrak to montana
Definitely on the bucket list
Hi from Australia
I thoroughly enjoyed watching I am planning on doing a trip like this but I would like to go from San Francisco to Chicago and then Chicago down to Memphis to see Graceland of course do you recommend the roomette or will the coach do
And also do they have specials promotions
👍❤💪💓👌✌️
I could relate to when you said Amtrak can run a little late. When I went to Washington D.C me and my family had to ride a Amtrak from Washington D.C to the house we was staying in. And the train was 2 hours late and I got so mad cause it was like 10:30 at night and I wanted to go to sleep. Great video though.
I WANT MORE RAIL IN US! Ugh I want to do this so much. Imagine not having to drive to cities, instead take 180mph rail…
