I wish Amtrak and UP could have found a way to divert the Zephyrs through the former Western Pacific from Winnemucca to Sacramento. They would have had to miss their stops in between (including Reno), but I bet there would have been a run on tickets for Winnemucca-Sacramento. Had I heard of such a move, I would have taken a couple of days off from work and Lisa and I would have drove to Winnemucca to get a trip through the Feather River Canyon, route of the original California Zephyr. It would have been worth the vacation days to get such a rare-mileage trip.
