Nothing exciting, but this is what it was like to ride over the famed Loop from the downstairs of the Parlour Car. I would gone upstairs but they were having their wine & cheese tasting ( you to pay for that now) & I didn't dare go int the Lounge Car. This is my view from Tunnel 9 to Tunnel 10. Enjoy.

  • I was recording video of this train from above when you were going through the loop! The hill I was standing on should be visible around 2:04.

    If you choose to look at my video, start at 6:11 to match with what you've taken.

    Great stuff! 5*

  • I can't see you above tunnel 10, but I remember seeing you above tunnel 2.

  • I thought lower level is the movie theater?

  • Yes, and drop the topic. I don't blame Amtrak for doing it, I actually agree with them for doing it. They are a company trying to make money, and that's all they were doing.

  • Yes. I was downstairs all the way from Caliente to just above Mojave. It wasn't bad.
