Hi All - I'll keep posting a couple of my trip reports if they're of interest - particularly as travel is difficult for many during COVID!

Here is my experience on Amtrak's California Zephyr riding from San Francisco (Emeryville) to Chicago - a great trip if you ever get the chance! Note - this experience was pre-COVID, so the food and service described is not Flex dining (fingers crossed we see full dining service back!).

Here is an article set to appear in print in this coming Sunday's Times by an Estonian photo journalist, about a 2018 California Zephyr journey Mt. Pleasant to Emeryville.

Apparently, the journalist rode Coach, noted a twelve car consist (presently eight) and had.a "pre-flex, pre Sleeping Cars Only" Dining Car meal.

Enjoy.
