> I agree that if anyone was to do just one overnight train trip in the US, they should do Chicago and/or Denver to Emeryville. The other routes I've done are Charleston -> Savannah, Fort Worth -> Austin, Boston -> Chicago -> St. Louis, Boston -> Portland, St. Louis -> KC, and many trips to every stop on the Northeast Corridor. They were each interesting in their own way, but I just like trains and for a more general audience I'd say the Zephyr is really on a totally different level.
