A Train Odyssey, Part 4: Amtrak Northeast Regional

This video is part four in a series of four videos that I call "A Train Odyssey". Please be aware that when I was shooting the video, I
envisioned a three-part series, instead of a four part series, and some of that my spoken dialogue still references Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, out of three videos, but it was too late to re-shoot those videos once I realized it would actually be a four-part series. I have tried to
correct all TYPED text and add pop-up text correcting myself when my voice is referring to the original three-part series.

Part 1 is a combination of the Chicago Metra train trip from my home in the suburbs to Chicago Union Station to catch the AMTRAK
"Cardinal" train, which I was taking as far as Washington DC, although the train continues from there to its terminus. Once I arrive at Chicago Union Station, I do an extensive tour of that station, the immediate surrounding area in downtown Chicago, and the
Metropolitan Lounge in the station. This video was taken on Saturday, September 24, 2016.

Part 2 is the first day on board AMTRAK's "Cardinal" train, ending before the scenic video portion starts. The majority of this is taken
up with my 'Viewliner Roomette Tour', similar to my two well-received 'Superliner Roomette Tours'. I tried to be as thorough in this video as I had been in those other videos. This video was taken on Sunday, September 25, 2016.

Part 3 is the second day on board AMTRAK's "Cardinal" train, starting from first light somewhere near Cincinnati and ending at
Washington DC's Union Station. This route mostly follows various rivers upstream from the Ohio River up into the Appalachians and then over into that mountain range's eastern foothills in western Virginia.

Part 4 is a trip on the AMTRAK "Northeast Regional" train, from Washington DC's Union Station to Petersburg, Virginia, a couple days
after the trip on the "Cardinal". This video highlights AMTRAK's recently added "Business Class" service. I end this video with a brief
shot of a nice rainbow taken from a car in northern North Carolina right after a massive rainstorm, and then some pretty video taken from my commercial airline trip from Richmond, Virginia back home to the Chicago area. This video was taken on Tuesday, September 27, 2016.

Not part of the four video series, but shot during the same trip, is my video taken at both of the Smithsonian Air & Space Museums
(National Mall and Steven Udvar-Hazy locations).....see my YouTube channel. These museums were not the purpose of my trip, which
was mostly to visit friends, but I thought I would share them with YouTube viewers. These museum videos were taken on Monday and Tuesday, September 26 & 27, 2016.
