I spent 46 hours on Amtrak's Empire Builder

Join me, my father, and several others as we travel 46 hours on Amtrak's Empire Builder cross country train route from Chicago to Seattle. This trip took us through seven states, 4 time zones, and along 2200 miles of historic rail in the Northern United States. A large portion of the travelers onboard were traveling simply for the thrill of experiencing this historic, scenic route - just like us.

Big shoutout to Mike Downie, of @DownieLive , for inspiring so many people to get out and experience rail travel in the United States, and beyond.

Who is Nick Henderson, and what is NickGoesFar?! Originally from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, I have been traveling the world since I was 3 years old, and have lead a fairly uncommon life ever since. Now, I'm a commercial pilot flying in the United States, a full-time nomad and traveler. NickGoesFar was originally "The Roaming Pilot", a travel blog where I would share my adventures, tips on expat life, and photography. As I leapt headfirst into content creation, film making, and wanted to be able to share with more people - a change was needed, and after a few iterations I landed here. I am incredibly grateful that years of hard work allow me to continue doing something I love, seeing the world and immersing myself in it. 😊🎥🌎
