  1. Hi Jeb and Suzanne the train now used for the Andean Explorer. Used to travel between Cairns in far north Queensland and Sydney. It was called the Great South Pacific Express and operated from April 1999 until June 2003. It was out of service for a length of time. Before it was shipped to Peru.

  2. Jeff, you and Suzanne (sp?) have become my dear friends and trusted guides on the rails. I love the thorough Amtrak reporting, but this Peruvian report is wonderful. Thanks a million, you two.

  3. Hello Jeb. I was researching Peru, came across your channel. I about fainted when I saw your name. My dear friend from PA named Jeb Brooks passed 18 years ago, at 30 years old.

  4. Wow! Guys, a bit late in watching this experience…so glad I am finally catching up as at 14.45 mins when you highlighted that the manufacturing of the train was in my current home city of Townsville, Queensland Australia! Very cool! I am going to pass this info on to our historical society as I am unsure if they know this unique info. Cheers guys! 🇦🇺

  5. I wonder if the good people "MAINTENANCE CREW" fixed your shower 🚿 plumbing problems, WHILE, they serviced the BRAKES so you guys didn't end up off a cliff 🤔

  6. Haven’t watched yet, just found your channel today, but masks! Really?! I’m out any where that is pushed or required. It’s stupid and unhealthy, but people just mindlessly embraced it and obeyed. It’s a freakin petri dish of harmful bacteria that will grow and make you ill if worn for more than 1 hour, not to mention the materials it’s made from filtering your oxygen intake and preventing proper co2 releases. Smh! Beyond all of that, and when those facts are known, how stupid it looks!

  7. I realize you guys are not night owls, but personally I would have spent a significant amount of time in that rear outdoor observation deck at night to witness the difficult to compare to anywhere else in the world view of the stars in the southern Hemisphere. As the Andes range is one of only a few "pristine" sky gazing places on Earth. Partly due to the altitude, being above most pollutants caused by civilization, and lack of light pollution (also from civilization). This is why some of the most powerful and complex telescopes on Earth are situated up at the top of the range (though they are in the southern part down in Chilè). Granted a train is way too bouncy to utilize a portable telescope/camera set up, just being able to take it all in with the naked eye (and maybe some cellphone camera shots) would still be a once in a lifetime opportunity I would not be able to pass by for the sake of a solid nights sleep. I mean isn't that what naps are for anyways?

  8. You will Definitely want to look into esim service to avoid obscene roaming fees. There's some pretty great services for folks traveling in S. America that gives you Superior rates for cell service. Not sure about the data plans. Though I would not expect consistent wifi anywhere. So d/l plenty of movies or documentaries or books in advanced to help keep you entertained during down time.

  9. This trip has been on my bucket list for a long time now. It combines 2 of my favorite things trains and huge mountain ranges. From what I always heard it actually gets to a pretty high elevation at some points. I even heard that at some places the cabin is pressurized to prevent altitude sickness… though I have never confirmed that… which is why I was so happy to see this video in hope of finding out once and for all if that is indeed true.

    Edit: So not pressurized cabins but available O2 for the higher altitude (over 14k ft!!🤯)

  10. Nothing beats a sleeper train, but in the U.S. they're usually so much more expensive its cheaper to just book additional hotel rooms. And do these trains ever derail in the mountains? How safe/well kept are they
