My fantastic experience crossing the country on AMTRAK

I spent 46 hours on an Amtrak train from Chicago to Los Angeles in a roomette… and somehow it turned into one of the most fun travel experiences I’ve had. The Southwest Chief - Amtrak No horror stories. No meltdowns. Just good Amtrak food, great conversations, incredible views, and a lot of laughs along the way. #southwestChief #amtrak The train was delayed by a few hours… but honestly, I didn’t care. Slowing down, watching the country roll by, and just enjoying the ride turned out to be the best part. If you’ve ever wondered what a long-distance train trip in the U.S. is really like, or if it’s actually worth it… this might surprise you. Thanks for coming along for the ride. 0:00 Intro 1:07 Chicago Union Station Metropolitan Lounge 3:25 Boarding the Southwest Chief 8:05 Making Dinner Reservations Amtrak 8:17 Amtrak Roomette 1st Floor & Bathroom Tour 12:22 Amtrak Sleeper Car 2nd Floor Tour & Coffee 16:28 Amtrak Dinner Experience and Food 19:05 What the Amtrak Roomette is like for sleeping 21:48 Breakfast Meals and coffee on the Amtrak 25:00 Fresh Air Break on the Amtrak 26:37 Lunch aboard the Amtrak Sleeping car 27:55 How to shower on the Amtrak Sleeper Train 31:13 Fresh air Break Albuquerque NM Amtrak Depot 34:44 The Final Stretch into Los Angeles Union Station Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/heyitstim Branding and graphics for Hey Its Tim designed entirely by Thadeus at https://www.tbdmx.co/ and they even made me cool stickers.
