I have a spreadsheet that I will print out prior to my trip. I have added 3 locations that are not scheduled. I have indicated the prior stop and my estimate. Please let me know what you think. This is just for fun. I will take the average unless someone has access to exact times. Distances are to the nearest mile.

Fraser-Winter Park - Arr 3:50 pm Dep 3:50 pm (from schedule)
Moffet Tunnel - Arr 3:55 pm Dep 4:00 pm (my guess - please correct me)
Miles between these points? 2 miles (my guess)
Length of tunnel? 6 miles (rounded)
----
Omaha - Arr 4:59 am Dep 5:14 am (from schedule)
Missouri River - Arr 5:25 am Dep 5:27 am (my guess - please correct me)
Miles between these points?
Length of bridge? 1 mile (my guess)
----
Burlington - Arr 10:36 am Dep 10:36 am (from schedule)
Mississippi River - 10:46 am Dep 10:48 am (my guess - please correct me)
Miles between these points?
Length of bridge? 1 mile (my guess)

I will just work backward for the return trip.

IIRC the Moffat tunnel is more like 10 minutes.

The EB Zephyr turns south before crossing the Missouri River. It will cross about 30 minutes after leaving Omaha. IIRC the name of the town in that area is plattsmouth. If you use google maps you can follow the route west from Creston through Red Oak to the bridge across the Missouri River. Then trace the route up to Omaha.

Enjoy your trip.
