A classic, no matter how you look at it!
-
If the Western Pacific had taken the time to negotiate access with the SP via the Dunbarton Cut off at Niles the service would have been complete. They were the weakest link in the chain.

@cons Having direct connect to San Francisco would be far longer and more expensive than taking a bus.

The Western Pacific was the weakest link in the opertations. They never were committed, lacked the drive of both the D&RG, and CB&Q. In fact they were drug into by the D&RG. The inability to gain access to San Franciso left you on a bus to Oakland. They never had the motive power to be on time. Leaving east bound trains as much as 2 hours behind and taking a train over headin west they also were able to lose time.

Interesting vid. I shot video of Amtrak's detoured California Zephyr passing through the Feather River Canyon and I also shot video of the "Feather River Express" passenger private car train passing through Pulga and the Feather River Canyon.

Love it!

Simply beautiful. As the train emerges from the tunnel, that next-to-last car (lettered "Pennsylvania"), was part of the railroads' Transcontinental Sleeper Service. The California Zephyr operated from Oakland to Chicago, but that sleeper continued on all the way to New York City, over a connection via the Pennsylvania Railroad.

The CZ ended March 22, 1970, not 1969.
