    Your travel videos are so comforting to me. I envy you for your trips!

    In "days of old" (pre-Amtrak) you could reserve a sleeper car compartment from NYC's Grand Central Station (via Chicago) all the way to San Francisco. The NYC to Chicago's LaSalle Street Station portion would be via the New York Central's "Lake Shore Limited", then your train car would be shuttled over to Chicago's Union Station. Then continue on to San Francisco.
  • As soon as I saw the Sears Tower from your view window, I knew you arrived in my childhood home Chicago. Sorry that you got the old 1970s sleeper room, Amtrak really should have renovated those years ago. Glad you liked the scenery of the western states and your meals.❤️🙏

    I can’t wait for the day that train travel becomes more popular throughout the U.S.! I’ve always said that a passenger train between the major Texas cities would do wonders!!

    Kuga, it doesn't matter if the trip is good or bad, you always seem to find enjoyment. While you were in Australia last visit I hope you had the chance to catch The Spirit of Outback I heard it's a pleasant trip.😀
  • @mukeshvig174
    Enjoyed every bit of the trip. After 4 days however you do get tired, or it seems. While the long distance Amtrak is amazing, it's anything but luxury. Coming from Japan, you would know it even better. Thanks Kuga ~

    What a great trip, from East Coast to West Coast by Amtrak. Yeah, Lake Shore Limited is the fastest way by train from New York to Chicago via Upstate New York, but if you want more scenic, take the Cardinal. Unfortunately you got the older generation of bedroom, which some part is "beatboxing". Something interesting to see when you boarding the California Zephyr is the train announcement. Rockies area never disappointed, and also it's great to mention all natural landscape around California Zephyr route.
  • Kuga-san, love your gentle, thoughtful and well-filmed documentaries. Origato -- so much! PS: We love your "gratitude" for all meals and travels.
  • Great video. Glad you enjoyed your visit. And being from Chicago, glad you liked the pizza.
  • @andrea6421
