THE REAL CALIFORNIA ZEPHYR PASSENGER TRAINS: Oakland to Portola

[@ClayCampbell-q6o]

Wow! That takes me back to 1955 when I took it to Chicago and back. I loved it.

I enjoyed watching this video! I wished I could have ridden the original CZ on the WP route, but this gives me a glimpse of what the route was like. Thank you.

Why can't we have this now?

[@vettebecker1]

Amtrak (government)

[@adriaanboogaard8571]

It would be nice. So would Slat Lake to Los Angeles through Las Vegas. That would take a lot of cars off the road.

[@Sunset4Semaphores]

Trust me. I am going to teach Amtrak and the FRA in 2025 ;)

[@robertmoir5695]

I like videos of commercial passenger trains before Amtrak

[@TigerDominic-uh1dv]

Yes, Why Amtrac Can't Expand Rapidly, And Bring Trains All Over The Country. 😊

[@StevieWonder737]

Most talked about train in the USA? Really?
I'd say the Super Chief would be ahead of the Cal Zephyr along with the 20th Century Limited.

[@charlessmileyvideos]

That was their claim. That was what many people remembered. It was the better scenery - all choreographed by a schedule that highlighted it in daylight hours. Nuff said?

The statement the train was losing money was an excuse the Western Pacific used. They were a weak and failing railroad. They were being squeezed by declining freight revenue from the Santa Fe, UP, and Southern Pacific.
