O please, this train at one time was 25 hours late into Chicago. 5 hours is practicly normal for this train, though, lately, it is now getting its timetable right.
Sweet vid. I live in northern Nevada not to far from the Reno, Nevada Amtrak station where the Zephyr stops. I have actually ridden the Zephyr round trip first class sleeper between Reno and Chicago. Also I have taken lots of vids of the Zephyr across Donner Pass and in the vast deserts of Northern Nevada. My good buddie is engineer on the Zephyr between the Reno, Nevada and Winnemucca, Nevada crew change points.
No. Not really. The CZ has actually been late by 25 hours which happened in the spring of this year sometime. So no the CZ is always at least 5 hours late sometimes, but there are those special times when they are right on time or even really early.

I never understood why and I really that think it never really matters, the way the CZ is always late.
