Amtrak California Zephyr: Chicago to San Francisco in a sleeper car

Cross country from Chicago to San Francisco on Amtrak's California Zephyr. Roughly following much of the original transcontinental route through the Rocky Mountains, Moffat Tunnel, and Sierra Nevada's, the scenery is stunning throughout this relaxing journey. Good close views of locomotives and trains along the way,, especially in Grand Junction. Quick hop off stops at Denver (2:15), Fraser CO (5:40) and Grand Junction CO (17:20). See wild Mustangs on the approach to Reno at (18:35). Pass the Eastbound Zephyr at 10:55. Nice scenery through the Rockies from about 2:45 to 12:55.

This video is not intended to be a review of accommodations, meals, or amenities. It's simply highlights of the journey as seen out my bedroom window traveling in a full bedroom sleeper car, which is considered 1st class. You get great views out both sides of the train with the full bedroom, one big window in your room, and with the door open, you get the view out the windows in the hallway. In the smaller roomette you only get the view out of your room, because there is another roomette on the other side of the hallway. Big difference. If you want privacy, and the best views, you need the full bedroom.

Enjoy!
