I am going from Emeryville to Chicago with an overnight stopover in Denver. I'm wondering if AMTRAK is still using the temp station in Denver, and if there are lockers avaiable to store some of my luggage. With a coach ticket, can I check some of my luggage all the way to Chicago from...

I am taking the CZ to California on Aug 4-6. I will be staying out on the west coast for about 6 weeks. When looking over the baggage policies, I noticed a list of items that either could not be carried on or that could not be checked. When I got to 'Medications including perscription drugs'...

I know if the train is late arriving into Emeryville, then the bus will usually wait, but what if it is early? Does the bus then leave early, but after the passengers have had time to board the bus?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good place to eat lunch near union station in Chicago? We were thinking about a not too pricey place within walking distance. We will have about 2 hours. Thanks.

Hi All. My wife and I are getting really excited (in a good way) about our CZ trip from Chicago to San Francisco, just 3 weeks from yesterday. A couple of comfort questions: 1. Is the California Zephyr Air Conditioned? 2. If so, does the AC work when the train is stopped? 3. Has anyone...

My wife and I have a Romette on the California Zephyr a few weeks from now. Are Towels for showering in sleeping cars provided? or should we bring our own?

Found AMTRAK ticketing on the map of Union Station but the baggage check. Do you check your bags at the ticket counter? Also can you get carts to haul your bags someplace?

Everyone has been so helpful in answering my questions. I thank you all very much. I do have two more and I hope I'm not pushing anyone's patience: 1. On the California Zephyr going westbound, how early can you usually board the train in Chicago? The train is scheduled to depart at 2:00 in...

We will be taking Amtrack from CHI to Emeryville. Then we need to find our way to Redwood City California. I believe our tickets include bus travel to the CALTRAIN station in San Francisco. We were thinking that we could transfer to CALTRAIN and then ride down to Redwood City. My...

From looking at the atlas, I'm assuming that the California Zephyr changes directions as it pulls out of Denver. Is that right? or did I miss something.

Is there a list someplace of the AMTRAK abbreviations both for trains and stations? Some of them I can figure out and some I can't.

My wife and I are taking the California Zephyr from Chicago to Emeryville and we will have a superliner roomette. I am a c-pap user and want to know if anyone has traveled in a sleeping car and used a c-pap? I know there is at least one electrical outlet available. Can it be used from either...

Does anyone know of any link or other resource that shows where the tunnels are on the CZ?

As a superliner roomette customer, I am wondering if tipping is allowed and/or expected?

I'm trying to look at maps to determine which track may be used from Chicago to Emeryville. I believe that I have found the usual route in most places except for 1. That would be coming into Omaha from Creston IA. The route guide suggests that the train goes through Coucil Bluffs IA, then...

I'm taking the California Zephyer this summer from Chicago to Emeryville. Does anyone know where you might be able to get a map or atlas showing the route? Preferably in detail.
