Amtrak's Southwest Chief Part 1: Chicago, IL to La Junta, CO

Very nice video! Some great stuff here. This is the only true way to see the country without having to drive. Speaking of that I need to plan more trips on Amtrak. All I ever ride is the regional from to time between BWI and NY Penn station.

Nice video brings back alot of memories.When I was a kid in the early to mid 1980's used to ride it from chicago to flagstaff every year.The superliners were new in phase II and phase III.F-40ph's and alot of ex-santa fe hilevels.Same classic route except Chi-Galesburg and it was called the Southwest Limited back then.

@cq431jmry Wow I wish I was around in those days, so much more variety and all of that brand new equipment!

Glad you enjoyed it!

VERY nice! Thanks for sharing this journey! I've never been on Amtrak; I have to confess that I let the media scare me away. But I do love trains.
