month following the Cal-Z from Chicago to the West coast capturing splendid action off train.

During your 2400 mile trip on the Zephyr youll visit with some fasinating people including a Rocky Mountain medicine man, a rodeo star they call the One-Armed Bandit, and a Nevada Cowboy Poet, just to name a few. On your trip youll also meet AMTRAKs most interesting and colorful crews and find out why a Colorado engineer says he has the best job in the world.

Your tour makes a special stop at Utahs historic Golden Spike Monument and inside the treasured California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. So gather your friends for a journey youll never forget aboard AMTRAKs California Zephyr and discover the Great American West!

travelling from chicago to san fran on the zephyr was the best way to travel across the US. the train staff were amazing, and way cheaper than flying. the scenery was amazing.

I grew up riding trains in Ukraine, ever since moving to the US I've always wanted to try trains but was put off by the fact that the trains here were 'coach' - not until I found out that there are sleeping cars, I got excited all over again. And the Zephyr is one train that is on my "to ride" list

Beats being anal searched in a airport terminal, to get on a cramped plane next to big cookie though.... Especially with prices for train cheaper for plane. And Train being more fuel efficient.

this video was made when amtrak treated customers more like a passenger and less like a $ sign. thats all we are now, a $ sign. with their new slogan "We'll get you there....EVENTUALLY!

Amtrak rocks and soon it will become the elite of all rail travel! T.C.
