I have no knowledge of the name of any of those trains, although one had to have been the California Zephyr, as we traveled from the East Bay in Calif. to Chicago. I remember enjoying everything about the trip, even though we were in coach, but especially the dome cars. Since that time, I never had occasion or means to ride a train again until 1983, when we took the CZ from Martinez to Denver, again in coach. Since then, I've taken the Coast Starlight once, from LA to Seattle, using roomettes; the Calif. Zephyr round trip to Denver in bedrooms; and the CZ from CHI to MArtinez in a roomette. I have taken the San Joaquins several times from Modesto to LA, and the Pacific Surfliners to San Diega a couple times. That's all I have to go on, but I have to list the Coast Starlight as my favorite, but as retirement maybe becomes an option in 5 -10 years, and I find a way to sample other Amtrak routes, and hopefully VIARail, I reserve my right to change my mind!
