More info: This isn't what the ride is normally like. This was an express train in April, 2019, probably 6pm or 7pm, going south from San Francisco. Because it's an express the train gets up to some high speeds, and this lateral wobbling starts to really get uncomfortable in the long stretches after Hillsdale or so. Also, this is the balcony, which amplifies the wobbling. The lower level are much more stable, and I switched to sitting in them shortly after taking this video despite the cramped leg room. And this was probably the car closest to the engine, like the author of this article said to avoid. I usually sat up there because it was the least crowded.
