Get on board the #CaliforniaZephyr
Train crossing a bridge in the mountains
From the California Zephyr #amtrak #californiazephyr #train
A low-angle black-and-white photograph features a massive streamlined diesel locomotive, engine number 5771, labeled "Rio Grande" on its nose and side. The train sits on tracks stretching into the distance, pulling passenger cars under a bright sky filled with fluffy cumulus clouds.
D&RGW 5771 - pulled the California Zephyr and Rio Grande Zephyr through the Rockies. Restored to its Aspen gold and silver livery.
Represents a golden age of diesel passenger service. Worth remembering.

A lot of nothing here in #Utah riding on #Amtrak #6 #CaliforniaZephyr on my way back to #Denver
On the #Amtrak #5 #CaliforniaZephyr from #Denver #Colorado to #GreenRiver #Utah, one of the most beautiful train rides in the US. It’s a wonderful time of the year to enjoy the majestic views of the #ColoradoRockyMountains. Only bad thing is some idiot is singing behind me. Really?

Look for discount fares.

Yellow and brown train station building in Roseville, California, with benches and people waiting outside under a shaded overhang on a sunny day.
A coin-operated payphone mounted on the yellow wooden wall of the Roseville train station, with a black base and weathered look.

🚂 Train station in Roseville, Calif. on Monday, July 21, 2025.
What year do you think it was built?
I was shocked to hear it was built in 1994! Inside is a collection of murals documenting the rail history of Roseville, which is home to the largest rail yard in California.

Part 3: Truckee & Tahoe
After hours on the train, a quick hike led to huge views. We swam, wandered, and soaked in the calm. The kind of stop that makes you want to return in another season.

I have seen five fireworks shows while crossing Utah on the train tonight. also apparently red white and blue Christmas lights are a thing on 4th of July. also every little town has a beautiful clean train platform, looks like great public transit.

I’m both glad that I can't see their butts and glad that the tradition which gives this part of the river of the Moon River nickname hasn't gone away in the ~25 years since I last took this trip.

Rock formation along the side of the train in Utah. With the direction of the sun the cap of the formation looks gold.
River looping through a grassy field in front of mountains.
Rock formation along the side of the train, I think in Utah. Tall slender and many layers.
