"America's 'Railroad'"? I'm sorry, but in the current state of things, I'd hardly go so far as to call it a "railroad".

Very nice. We took Amtrak from Emeryville (S.F.) to Baltimore. Great trip. I made a couple of short videos of the scenes along the way and of our accommodations on board the California Zephyr and Cardinal trains. Hope you'll take a look sometime. If only Amtrak did not have to use those poorly maintained private corporation owned tracks. America deserves a national railway.

At 1:13 Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon is shown. This scene USED to be able to be seen from the windows of a train called "THE PIONEER." But that train was discontinued years ago, the victim of budget cuts and politics. Amtrak shouldn't show file footage in their videos of locations that can't be seen from non-existent Amtrak trains!

Should be HD.

Like me, Amtrak was born in 1971. I’ve not been an Amtrak passenger as an adult, but have had a few gardening experiences in the 21st century, becoming a first time gardener in 2006. I harvested the first tomato from my first-ever tomato patch the day Tracy L. Fagerholm and Robin B. Mooney died: 8/28/06. I ate it on a roast beef sandwich that afternoon. 1,961 days passed between 8/28/06 and 1/10/12. Unrelated: stone cults; sleeping in closets; identity; Amtrak service to New Jersey, points south

I'm 40 years old and have never been an Amtrak passenger as an adult, but have had a few gardening experiences in the 21st century, becoming a first time gardener in 2006. I harvested the first tomato from my first-ever tomato patch on the day Allan D. Blount died: AUG. 28, 2006. I ate it on a roast beef sandwich that afternoon. Unrelated: Stone cults; erstwhile secondary school chiefs (high school); or university department chairpersons. A total of 1,961 days passed between 8/28/06 and 1/10/12
