Amtrak's Southwest Chief: Chicago to Los Angeles
Come along with us as we climb aboard Amtrak’s Southwest Chief for an amazing, 3-day adventure across America. Beginning in Chicago, Illinois, our train will take us over 2,200 miles to Los Angeles, California, on the former route of Santa Fe’s Super Chief streamliner. From Illinois farm country, transitioning to Kansas prairie, we thunder across Colorado, and head over the Rocky Mountains on the steep grades of Raton Pass. Then it’s down through New Mexico on scenic tracks that today are only used by Amtrak. Seemingly frozen in time are relics from Santa Fe’s heyday, including semaphore signals and long stretches of jointed rail, as we pass the historic landmarks of Wagon Mound, Glorieta Pass, and Apache Canyon. Soon we make it to California, running over Cajon Pass before making our gran...

Southwest Chief: Surviving two days and nights in coach (and loving it)
Two nights on Amtrak's Southwest Chief train, from Los Angeles to Chicago. I got a coach seat for the (scheduled) 43-hour journey across America's Southwest and Midwest. In this video is all the spectacular scenery, on-board life, smoke stops, and friendly cafe food I experienced along one of the world's great train rides.
I kept an eye on the time, since the train was often late arriving at stations along the way. I hoped we'd be on time to the final stop, Chicago. By the end, we'd gone over 2,200 miles through California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois.

Trip Report: Amtrak’s Southwest Chief | Day 2: Stunning Views in Colorado and New Mexico
We're back with Day 2 of our trip aboard American long-distance train, the Southwest Chief. This train runs between Chicago, IL and Los Angeles, CA. Our tickets cost $50, and in this video, you can see what the second day of this 3-day journey has to offer. We wake up on the border between Kansas and Colorado, and after a morning stroll through La Junta, the train crawls up to its highest point in the Raton pass. Descending towards Albuquerque, the train passes through some extremely remote areas with the most gorgeous views. Finally, we experience the other side of train travel: major delays as track owner BNSF gives priority to its own trains.

The scenery we encountered on this route was some of the most spectacular I’ve ever seen from a train. The Southwest Chief crosses some inhospitable landscapes that made me grateful for the Amtrak Comfort.
A real highlight was the Raton Pass, which saw the train climb higher than 7,800 feet as it passed from Colorado to New Mexico.
I’ll even share a bit of the history of Amtrak in general, and this route in specific as we make the trek.

Come along with us as we climb aboard Amtrak’s Southwest Chief for an amazing, 3-day adventure across America. Beginning in Chicago, Illinois, our train will take us over 2,200 miles to Los Angeles, California, on the former route of Santa Fe’s Super Chief streamliner. From Illinois farm country, transitioning to Kansas prairie, we thunder across Colorado, and head over the Rocky Mountains on the steep grades of Raton Pass. Then it’s down through New Mexico on scenic tracks that today are only used by Amtrak. Seemingly frozen in time are relics from Santa Fe’s heyday, including semaphore signals and long stretches of jointed rail, as we pass the historic landmarks of Wagon Mound, Glorieta Pass, and Apache Canyon. Soon we make it to California, running over Cajon Pass before making our grand entrance into famous Los Angeles Union Station.
With vantage points inside the train and along the tracks, I captured the entire experience on the Southwest Chief, carefully edited from hours of footage over more than a year of filming. I hope you enjoy this video!
The adventure continues in California - be sure to check out my other videos documenting trains in the Los Angeles area:

Trip Report: Amtrak’s Southwest Chief | Day 2: Stunning Views in Colorado and New Mexico

We're back with Day 2 of our trip aboard American long-distance train, the Southwest Chief. This train runs between Chicago, IL and Los Angeles, CA. Our tickets cost $50, and in this video, you can see what the second day of this 3-day journey has to offer. We wake up on the border between Kansas and Colorado, and after a morning stroll through La Junta, the train crawls up to its highest point in the Raton pass. Descending towards Albuquerque, the train passes through some extremely remote areas with the most gorgeous views. Finally, we experience the other side of train travel: major delays as track owner BNSF gives priority to its own trains.
