Enjoy the trip!

Great video! I did the Zephyr this time last year from Martinez to Denver and back. I have also done the Coast Starlight from Martinez to LA and back. I love traveling on Amtrak!

[@SightlinesTravel]

Thank you. Sounds like a fun trip!

[@AldousIchnite]

Very cool! 🚆

[@SightlinesTravel]

Thanks for the great music!

[@leanordials8008]

Thanks, thinking about doing this very trip.

[@SightlinesTravel]

Glad you enjoyed. It's a beautiful trip.

[@Homer500]

Thanks for the winter scenes of the California Zephyr. You do a very nice job of narrating the trip. I do the full trip every year in June when the daylight is longest. Did you end this trip in Denver on Valentine’s Day?

[@SightlinesTravel]

Thank you! I'm not sure what day I arrived in Denver without checking, but it was mid-February so could be.

[@hughosborn7292]

Great video ! Thanks for sharing. Was there a guy with a quad runner about 21:40 fishing ??

[@SightlinesTravel]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I don't see anyone fishing in that shot, but maybe I missed it.

What was your favorite meal on this train? How many hours of uninterrupted sleep did you get on this train?

[@SightlinesTravel]

The Amtrak steak was once again my favorite, but I had the chicken for the second dinner and it was also good. For sleep, I got about 6 hours on this train, not too bad.
