Documentary: Ashland VA to DC to CHI to LA Southwest Chief

Here is a link to a documentary I made of a trip I took on Amtrak out to LA about a year ago.

Northeast Regional-Capitol Limited-Southwest Chief. We were 6 hours late to LA due to the original engine breaking down somewhere in Kansas. All in all it was a fun time for my first cross country Amtrak trip!

Thanks very much for presenting this video. It was a great job with just a cell phone! Apparently you went through Flagstaff in the middle of the night. Sometime when I see the train is running very late westbound and I don't have anything to do, I am going to ride it to LA by daylight.

Enjoyed your video immensely. Your camera-phone did an excellent job. We have had Larry several times on our Cap Ltd trip and he is top notch SCA. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks sharing the video! Will be on this train in about a week going east from LA to CHI, then CHi to MN.
