New York to Miami onboard Amtrak's BRAND new SLEEPER Viewliner - Silver Meteor

As a proper Frenchman, you brought your own tablecloth 🤣🤣🤣 👍👌✌️

I fabricated and welded every single frame for that new Amtrak line, I even built the prototypes(sleepers,diners,baggage and bagdorms). It was fun to build the frames and later on I helped finish the interiors. It's such an honor to have you like them and I love seeing them on the track in service. P.s if you look on the ends on the frame below the door posts there is a hand stamped serial number. I hand stamped every single frame.

Having rail fans film the train from the side of the road or a station really add to the experience of the video 👍🏼. What a community!

Nice to see the Amtrak Silver Meteor line still going. My father took the whole family on Silver Meteor from Miami to New York on vacation back in 1982. We returned to Miami on Silver Meteor also. We went in a first class room for 4 persons. It was my first experience on a train traveling. It was the best summer I had with my family.

You are one of the biggest reasons I took the train to New York in September of '21, along with my father's encouragement. I thouroughly thank you so much for this video, because the train trip added so much to my trip. Moynihan Hall was truly an experience to be in in general once I was leaving for home, after a week of being in NYC. Thank you so much, Simply Railways!

No distracting music or commentary. Just the ambient sounds. Thumbs up!

Florida is a lot bigger than most people realize. When I was in my 20s my girlfriend and I drove down to the Keys from Indianapolis one time. I remember crossing the state line into Florida and thinking “Wow we’re almost there!” Nope, we were barely halfway.

Amtrak went all in on that Viewliner set. Major props to them!

Thank you for leaving the subtitles up long enough for us to read them and then see what you are capturing at that moment. A lot of YouTubers could learn something by watching this video.

I personally like the wood paneling. It gives the interior just a hint of old world class and style.

It was nice to hear people thanking the crew. So many people these days are unthankful.

I'm a grandmother in NC, near Charlotte, and I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I don't enjoy traveling too far from home, even though I have several times, but I loved being able to travel and learn while in my own home. Good job !

I dk about the “old rattling sound” at night, but for me, the whole point of taking the train is to be able to hear the ‘chunk-chunk’ sound of the wheels on the track, such a comforting sound.

When I was growing up, my dad would always take me to the station to meet my Granny coming in on the Silver Meteor! We lived in Raleigh, NC and she lived in Savannah, GA. We would see who could stand the closest to the rails when the train came in and loved the rumble it gave our chests! I was a little girl then, and I turn 64 this year. I have also had the pleasure of riding the Silver Meteor, too! One thing on my Bucket List is to take my husband (who has never been on a train) on a trip in a sleeper aboard the same train to remember my sweet Granny. Thank you for bringing back wonderful memories!

I don't even want to go anywhere in particular, I just wanna ride that train.

When I moved from NJ 45 years ago I went twice a year back by train, I loved ie. Me and my young daughter. Still miss it. Happy travelers

Nothing beats train travel imo. I simply love it to death! Thank you for sharing!

I used to take the Auto-train from Virginia to Florida to visit my grandma in the 90's. As a small child, they used to put movies on for kids and I met kids my age. It was before everyone had cell phones so we used to bring board games and lanyard to keep ourselves busy. Very good memories.

Great video. Love the subtitles instead of incessant talking, you can hear the ambient sounds. My grandparents always took the Silver Meteor to Florida back in the 1950s–60s pre-Amtrak. We used to see them off at Penn Station in NYC. Back then you could go on the train before it left to say good-bye. They always booked a sleeper but grandma usually stayed up all night playing cards in the club car with the other night owls. Wonderful memories.

It bizarre why we haven’t any high speed networks across this fine nation!!! 🚂 Plane? car? Give me a train every time!!
