I have verified via the MH Tower Railcam in Chicago that the California Zephyr has begun conversion to Winter Consist effective with CZ 5 that departed 1/11 and the CZ 5 that departed today 1/12. Not sure when the CZ 6 will be since they still have one additional set of CZ equipment in Oakland. Only when the CZ 5 in Winter consist are turned and become CZ 6 will the CZ 6 be converted but it still should be within four to six days.
Here is the Winter Consist as observed departing Chicago on both 1/11 and 1/12:
Engines
Baggage Car
Transition Sleeper
Sleeper 532(632)
Sleeper 531(631)
Dining Car
Sightseer Lounge
Coach

I did confirm only two sleepers and two coaches for now.
I apologize if this information is covered in another topic.
