Atlases

[Steve P.]

I'm taking the California Zephyer this summer from Chicago to Emeryville. Does anyone know where you might be able to get a map or atlas showing the route? Preferably in detail.

I agree. I am reading Zephyr right now and it's exceptionally written. Very detailed, and I highly suggest it. It will give you a much greater appreciation for the crew, the train, and the wonderful terrain it traverses.

At one time Union Pacifics's maps were on line division by division. Do not know whether they still are or not. Try their web site and see. That will take care of everything west of Denver.

Hema maps show the Amtrak routes, so far I've seen an atlas and folding maps for the Northwest USA and Southwest USA. Unfortunately when I checked the rest of the ones in this series hadn't yet been printed so they don't cover the entire route. But they do get the most scenic parts.
