California Zephyr

Effective November 10, 1996

California Zephyr operates FOUR times per week between San Francisco and Chicago via Reno, Denver, Lincoln and Omaha. Zephyr Trains leave California stations on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Trains return to California on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.

Previous Amtrak plans to restore the California Zephyr to DAILY service at this schedule change were put off for six months to allow the States and Congress to come up with a funding plan for both keeping existing trains and restoring trains to daily service. Check with Amtrak.

The schedule below is complete in California, but does not list all stops out of State. For complete schedule information contact Amtrak
