Taking the eastbound Zephyr tomorrow morning from Emeryville to Chicago. How early do we need to get to the station? Can sleeper passengers order meals from a menu instead of this new flex program? Is there a link to the menu? Where are we likely to see fall foliage? Thanks!

The Zephyr still has traditional dining cars with full menus. Enjoy it while you can!
The zephyr is an amazing ride, my favorite. The scenery is just phenomenal.
If you aren’t checking in luggage you don’t need to be there particularly early. Maybe allow 30 minutes?

As Crescent-Zephyr has indicated the Flex program fortunately does not apply to the western long distance trains such as the Zephyr.
Here is a link to the menu:

Hope you have a great trip. It is a scenic run.

I like the CZ, but I would say the best scenery is the part of the run between California and Denver, not Denver and Chicago. I have enjoyed all of my CZ trips, all were in roomettes

Truckee to Reno should be fine for fall foliage right now. I just drove through there last week, and it was looking pretty good. Not much foliage to see between Emeryville and Sacramento. Sacramento to Reno might be looking good now, particularly Roseville to Auburn.

Snow coming to Denver area Thursday so guess you will miss it. 78 Wed then 26 that night with snow next morning.
