3 Days Epic Trip on America’s Transcontinental Sleeper Train! | 🇺🇸 Los Angeles – Chicago
🚆 Amtrak’s Southwest Chief Sleeper Train: Los Angeles → Chicago (43 hours)
Today, we ride the legendary Southwest Chief from Los Angeles to Chicago —
a 43-hour journey across 8 states, from painted deserts and mesas to the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River.
We booked the Roomette, the cheapest private sleeper room, and lived the classic overnight-train life:
meals, observation car views, a “luck-based” shower room… and a banana that slowly ripens as we get closer to Chicago 🍌
💰 Fee (Ticket Price)/
US$809 (Rail fare $303 + Roomette $506) / ¥126,000 / £600 / ₹73,000 / €700 / C$1,100 / ₩1,170,000 / ₽64,000
🌄 Experience / Luck-based shower & an unripe banana

Great trip. Ah yes, you try this train. Both Zephyr and Southwest Chief is great, but I prefer Southwest Chief because it's a bit faster. For someone who giving our man breadfruit, and for someone who accompanying our man, especially from neighbours country of our man, thank you for making him survive on this journey.
Hier wirklich schau andere Welt Kling interessant vielen Dank für Video
13:55 nice rack.
Oh wow, I never expected your travels would bring you even briefly through Missouri. Truly a small world.
Nice video. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎄🎄
non ho capito….hanno usato una foto del Tempio Sensoji per sponsorizzare Seoul? è come se per sponsorizzare Roma mettessero una immagine della Tour Eiffel, non ha senso
You're staying in one of the most haunted hotels in Chicago!
Видос amazing
Great vlog, thank you. Albuquerque is extremely unsafe, 17th in the nation. Back in the Wild West days, Las Vegas,Nm was where all the outlaws congregated. (I’m from New Mexico).
after wading through all the slop in youtube i finally get to watch a gem
Should have hung out more with goes you played cards. That looked fun
07:17.
Some of the geese ended up in Los Angeles
Japan man, I respect to you, you are great man, Mery christmas , enjoy to your new trip
Lol, this is the most noise I've heard in any of your videos. I love Americans; they just love to talk. Very human.
I'm from Russia and I'm waiting for your video about traveling by train in Russia.
