I've taken the train cross-country about 5-6 times and I love it but it's not without its quirks. There's always a delay of one sort or another. For some reason, freight trains take priority on most of these tracks so it's not uncommon to have to "pull over" (or whatever trains do) to let a freight train pass. But some Amtrak routes are really well-run. The Seattle/Portland train is great, has numerous trips a day and even has a special menu of local food in the dining car that's way better than normal Amtrak fare.
This was great, Brandon! More train content, please. You'll definitely have an audience for it. 🚂🚄
Very well portrayed
