Jeb Brooks has some good Amtrak trip report videos.

He is good at it.  I could not help but notice that the Cardinal exterior was filthy.

Good trip report on the Empire Builder for sure. They tell it like it is without sugar coating anything. One thing that got my attention was when they started answering questions that people have submitted to them. One of them was, "Why are Amtrak trains always so late?" This is the perception that the general public has of Amtrak, and true or not, it is not something Amtrak never tries to dispel. If I was running a company and that is probably the number one image that my potential customers have of it, I sure would try to dispel that rumor, or at least down play it by highlighting everything else we had to offer. Amtrak just sits on its thumbs.
