Do you think it will be good to take it in the winter through the Donner Pass in February??

Went on #5 California Zephyr from Omaha to Provo a few years ago.

A film will never do justice to this trip. It is something you have to experience. We have done it several times and never tire of it. People that travel by train are a special breed. It is always an adventure. Check with Amtrak about the flooding in Omaha Nebraska before you book.

I want to take the California Zephyr to California so bad. But I'm not sure if I could do two days on the train. I took it to Chicago from Iowa for a vacation trip this year and I loved it. I got lucky and only had a 2 hour delay into Chicago and 3 hour delay on the way back. It didn't bother me at all.
I'll have to talk it over with the wife and see if she's up for it. Sadly bringing the kid with us will not happen. She was out of control on the 8 hour trip. Don't want to think about 2 days.

@GordonFreemanD40 i know u didn't ask me....but I still have very fond memories of our trip this way. Even though we had a crazy experience.....a mudslide ahead held us back several hours....kinda sucky....we still had fun getting to know our fellow passengers and the views were AMAZING!!! I just felt like a baby being rocked to sleep. It is sooo peaceful and tranquil. I always sound like a commercial for Amtrak but it's true. This is theeee best way to go.

Great video! We took the California Zephyr and then the Cardinal to Baltimore and back to the west coast. Unfortunately, I only had a digital still camera to capture video of the trip but I have the videos on my channel if you want to take a look. Next to driving across the country, Amtrak is the very best way to see America.

I miss the landscape -: ( Watching the train is getting boring

@Larsky1010 I've never been an VIA or Amtrak before. How's the experience?

My wife and I have been on the CZ many times between Galesburg, Illinois and Sacramento, Ca. People flying at 30,000 feet above me just don't get it. Thanks for a great video! I'll be posting some myself. Again, thank you.
Do you think it would be a good trip to go during the winter like dec??? Thanks in advance
