3 Days in First Class Roomette on Amtraks California Zephyr San Francisco to Chicago
A train trip from San Francisco to Chicago on Amtrak s California Zephyr. The trip takes about three days and two nights. This was recorded in late August 2022. There was too much info for one video so here are a few additional tidbits: The tipping rock mentioned in the video seems to be called the rocking It s located in Truckee, California and no longer rocks. Here s someone else s video of it: I used Amtrak Vacations to book the trip, which put me on the lower level. This meant less foot traffic and less rocking, but I d book an upperlevel room on future rides for better views. We were 6. 5 hours late arriving in Chicago, which was the same as my previous trip. This was mainly due to ceding the rightofway to freight traffic. At one point, we stopped while three freight trains passed us. Amtrak doesn t own most tracks in the U. S. The weather was 65 F (18 C) in San Francisco
